Overnight, about 3-6 inches of snowfall blanketed parts of Central and South Texas, leaving behind picture-worthy sights in neighborhoods and at landmarks like the Alamo, River Walk and Hemisfair.

While the winter storm has resulted in power outages and dangerous conditions, locals made the best of it by enjoying a rare opportunity to play in the snow.

That meant ice angels at Alamo Plaza, snowmen galore, and sledding and kayaking down streets.
