There was heart-breaking tragedy in that brutal week of record-breaking cold with power outages, homes damaged and lives lost — but there was also exquisite beauty as the city was covered in a rare blanket of powdery snow for days.
In true Texas fashion, it was fleeting. Just days after the heavy snowfall, the weather warmed up enough that people were wearing shorts as the snow melted.
We take a look back at some images that show the exceptional beauty of those 2021 San Antonio snow days:
