Austin didn't even have snow plows until 2022, the year after snowmageddon. If I remember correctly, they tried using road graders and sand. Even then, it's generally ice, not snow in central tx, even after removing snow in 2021 there isn't/wasn't much to do about all the ice.



To me, snowmageddon will always be Atlanta 2014.


I imagine there is another group that would claim the 2010 blizzards in the midwest/mid-Atlantic as the, snowmageddon. However, I would argue both 2010 & 2014 as snowpocalypse--and with over 290 official (and estimated 700+) deaths the 2021 Texas storms as a better fit for snowmageddon. (not that its a competition, it was simply far more tragic)
