Hosting big events at Jerryworld in Arlington seems to encourage snowy, winter weather.
The big picture: Longtime North Texas residents probably remember the 2011 ice storm during Super Bowl XLV, when the Green Bay Packers beat the Pittsburgh Steelers.
But the snowiest day was actually the year before — when AT&T Stadium hosted the NBA All-Star Game.
The latest: DFW Airport recorded 2.2 inches of snow yesterday. But areas of Collin and Denton counties saw 3-6 inches, while areas to the south saw less than an inch.
Flashback: Most of Dallas-Fort Worth recorded more than a foot of snow Feb. 11-12, 2010. DFW Airport saw a record 12.5 inches in 24 hours, per the National Weather Service.
North Texas saw less snow when hosting the Super Bowl. Some areas got more than 6 inches. Dallas Love Field recorded 5.1 inches Feb. 3-4, 2011.
Zoom out: Other parts of Texas haven't seen record snowfall since the 1920s, according to a NOAA record of snowfall extremes.
