High 20’s, snow on the ground…barely. First 30 years of my life it snowed here maybe twice. In 2004, we got 8” on Christmas Eve.  Since 2004, it’s snowed no less than 5-6 times. Varying amounts.

Blizzard warning in SE Texas and western Louisiana. That's... unusual.

Yeah, growing up it might have snowed twice in Austin in the first 30 years I lived here.  Now it's almost annual.

I made my chili on Sunday but we saved it for today, since today is the actual snow day.  But I did sample it yesterday after a day of sitting and melding, and I gotta say, might be the best batch I've ever made.  I don't always used the cubed pork loin in addition to the cubed chuck, but I did this time and it was pretty great.  I also love the mix of peppers I used, a little less ancho which tends to give it a raisiny flavor, and a bit more guajillo which is really balanced.  Not much heat in guajillo though so I added a diced fresh jalapeno and a diced fresh serrano, and the end result it great.

I'm smart and always have garlic and onions on hand, so no powders needed. ;)

I've been told the pork fat/grease helps put the heat of the peppers on the tongue better
I usually add some type of pork - a small amount
not this time

Not much fat on pork loin, but I also always brown the cubed meat in pork chorizo grease, and/or bacon grease, so that might help out.
