A Rare Sight on Campus

The grandeur of the Main Building was softened under a mantle of snow on February 11, 1963. The National Weather Service officially reported a one inch snowfall for Austin that day. This rare weather event was commented on in the February 22 issue of the Hilltopper that year.

“SNOW, SNOW, SNOW and more snow. The biggest blizzard to hit Austin in SEVEN years. An estimated two and one half million snow flakes fell.” Hilltopper February 22, 1963.
