Choosing a date wasn't all that hard. In fact, the answer has been in front of us the entire time, we were just too distracted to see it.

Based on weather records, February 14th is frequently the snowiest day in Texas. Throughout history, Valentine's Day in Texas has been hit with more than just cupid arrows.

Based on historical patterns, February 14 has significant snowfalls documented across multiple regions of Texas (the historic 1895 storm and the 2021 Winter Storm Uri). While February 12 and December 21-22 are also notable, their snowfalls are typically more localized to North Texas and the Panhandle.
