Austin - Extreme Daily Snowfall for Each Year
Here's a list of yearly records for the heaviest snowfalls and snowiest days in Austin, Texas. The information easily answers questions such as: How much snow fell in a day during the biggest snowstorm of 2019? When was the last time Austin got more than two inches of snow in a single day?
This page gives the highest daily snowfall of each year in Austin and the date it occurred. If a date has a plus sign beside it that means the same amount of snow also fell on at least one other day earlier in the year.
These records go back to 1927, with a few years missing data. Since then, the most amount of snow to land in one day at Austin is 6.5 inches (16.5 centimetres) on January 30, 1949.
Since 1939 the snowfall extremes were measured at Camp Mabry. Before then, the weather station was at the University of Texas campus.
