1. All it took was a historic winter storm to bring white sandy beaches to Galveston!

2. Garner State Park has transformed into a winter wonderland! The Frio River is certainly living up to its name.

4. The falls at McKinney Falls State Park in Austin are frozen solid and covered in a thick layer of snow.

5. It's an absolute winter wonderland at Franklin Mountains State Park in El Paso! You can hardly see the ground underneath all the snow.
