I have only been to Austin once to consult on an OpenStack install - Cray was in the same building as my client... But when I was packing for the trip - I was like "I am going to texas - so I don't need a jacket and only packed short sleeve shirts and brought a pair of shorts! When I arrived in Austin, IT WAS FUCKING SNOWING I was so damn cold.

Me too! I got stuck there because taxis weren't running to the airport due to snow. Had a rad time... everything was covered in snow, not a car on the road. Apparently the locals hadn't seen anything like it, so maybe a freak one. This was late 2000's, can't remember exactly when

  We had a good snow last month - about 6 inches. But yes that kind of thing is so exceedingly rare (about once every 10 years) that the entire city economy basically grinds to a halt so everyone can go outside and play in the snow. The last time that happened was probably the incident you are describing.
