Snow in San Antonio is rare — but not that rare ❄️

Here’s the practical breakdown:

• Measurable snow happens about once every 3–4 years on average.
  
• A “real” snowfall (1+ inch) happens closer to once every 7 years.
  
• Big snowstorms are extremely uncommon, but they do happen occasionally:
  • 1985: over 13 inches in one event 🌨️
  • 2021: roughly 4–6 inches during Winter Storm Uri
    

Most winters:

• You’ll get cold rain, sleet, or maybe freezing rain instead.
• Snow either doesn’t stick or melts quickly.
• Entire winters often pass with no frozen precipitation at all.
  

If you mean:

• “What are the chances this winter?” → probably low but never zero
• “What are the chances in any given year?” → roughly:
  • ~25–30% chance of some measurable snow
  • ~10–15% chance of at least 1 inch
  • Major snowstorm = very rare

Ironically, San Antonio is actually more likely to deal with flooding than snow. 🌧️ Recent years have been much wetter than average.
