Austin’s biggest party goes on as planned

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Austin’s New Year party kicked off, but without the big crowds this year.
As the temperature dipped in the 30s, some families braved the cold and joined friends at Vic Mathias Shores formerly known as Auditorium Shores.  They waited for hours for a big fireworks show and also snow.
As the snow started blanketing the ground, fireworks lite the sky above downtown.
