Snow Day at St. Ed's

Walking in a hilltop wonderland

By St. Edward's University

January 22^nd, 2025

As cold air moved across the United States, a rare winter storm developed through Texas and across the Gulf Coast, all the way to Florida! While Austin did not get as much snow as other places across the state and the South, the hilltop received enough snowfall for students and community members alike to enjoy a fleeting winter wonderland for one beautiful afternoon.
