  • February 2021 Historical Winter Storm Event South-Central Texas
    Austin/San Antonio Weather Forecast Office WEATHER EVENT SUMMARY February 2021 Historical Winter Storm Event South-Central Texas 10-18 February 2021 A Snow-Covered Texas. GeoColor satellite image from the morning of 15 February, 2021. February 2021 South Central Texas Historical Winter Storm Event South-Central Texas Winter Storm Event February 10-18, 2021 Event Summary Overview An unprecedented and historical eight-day period of winter weather occurred between 10 February and 18 February across South-Central Texas. The first push of arctic air arrived in the area on 10 February, with the cold air dropping temperatures into the 20s and 30s across most of the area. The first of several frozen precipitation events occurred on the morning of 11 February where up to 0.75 inches of freezing rain accumulated on surfaces in Llano and Burnet Counties and 0.25-0.50 inches of freezing rain accumulated across the Austin metropolitan area with lesser amounts in portions of the Hill Country and New Braunfels area. For several days, the cold air mass remained in place across South-Central Texas, but a much colder air mass remained stationary across the Northern Plains. This record-breaking arctic air was able to finally move south into the region late on 14 February and into 15 February as a strong upper level low-pressure system moved through the Southern Plains. As this system moved through the region, snow began to fall and temperatures quickly fell into the single digits and teens. Most areas of South-Central Texas picked up at least an inch of snow with the highest amounts seen from Del Rio and Eagle Pass extending to the northeast into the Austin and San Antonio areas.

  • February 1918
    The October Victory and its Global Significance October 1917 – February 1918 “Лубо диктатура (Т. Е. железная власть) помещииков и капиталистов, либо диктатура рабочего класса, середины нет.” “Either dictatorship (that is iron control) of the landowners and capital- ists, or dictatorship of the working class, [but] never a middle course.” 12 Map 1 The October Victory and its Global Significance // October 1917 – February 1918 Colored lithographic print, 64 x 102 cm. Compilers: A. N. de-Lazari and A. N. Lesevitskii. Artist: S. Starov Historical Background and Thematic Design The first map in the series illustrates the major events associat- ed with the Great October Revolution of 1917, when the Bol- sheviks seized power in Petrograd and continues with subse- quent events through February 1918. The map’s focus is on the northwest sector, which depicts the communist version of the immediate after effects of the Bolshe- vik Revolution in Petrograd. The rise of communist power is highlighted by a suite of symbols in the vicinity of Petrograd. Flying directly over Petrograd is a large red flag, charged with the Cyrillic letters С Н К, which stands for the Council of Peo- ples Commissars, also known by its acronym, Sovnarkom. It was the first governing body of Soviet Russia, and Lenin was the chairman. The red arrows pointing toward Finland from Petrograd indicate Soviet support for the Red Guards in the Finnish Civil War. Figure 1 A state security apparatus was founded to protect the revolution from its many enemies. It is illustrated by the symbol of a hammer and sickle within a white flash, above the Cyrillic letters В.
