You do recognize the difference between "when X happens Y normally happens" and "X happened recently and then Y happened" right? They are very different types of statements. "It snowed two inches, and Dallas was shut down for a week", even if true (and you have to have an extraordinarily broad idea of what "shut down" means for it to be true), doesn't suggest that typically when it snows two inches Dallas is shut down for a week. Often two inches of snow in Dallas won't last a week on the ground. So even if the existence of two inches of snow on the ground did shut down the city (and it doesn't, even if it does effect the city in noticeable ways), it wouldn't normally shut down the city for a week. What did to an extent shut Dallas down wasn't two inches but was the 11 inches in February 2010 dallasnews.com
