As a weather noob I check the 7 day forecast in DFW almost daily. We have yet to have cold weather or a good freeze yet. We are at the end of Jan and the 7 day forecast claims 60's and 70's  this week.Are we going to get any winter weather? |

Quoted: No. We will get at least one day of ice or snow before it's all over like we usually do. Even in the mildest of winters we will get a day or so. A week of belowing freezing would help with the bug situation this summer though. This is were I am worried. I am looking to double my efforts twoards bug control this year. |

nope Do you figure we are going to stay at these temps through the rest of winter? Tomorrow I'll consult my co-worker, a former meteorologist... or I'll try to find a Farmer's Almanac... BTW, when is Groundhog's Day? Everyday is Groundhog's Day!

It snowed Easter here in Dallas 4-5 years ago. I remember sitting down to eat around the table only to have everyone run outside to watch it snow. Last freeze here in DFW is about St Patricks Day, usually. By Valentines Day, usually the weather really starts to warm up. The sun is as strong as it is in mid October by then and can get warm quick.
Steve MacCaulay(sp) from Channel 8, the only weather dude worth a damn in Dallas said this evening he thought we might be in for one of his McFarland Signature blasts in a couple weeks. Last year he was the weatherman that predicted the Ice Apocalypse weeks ahead of time. |

Jumanji huh? I haven't seen Robin Williams yet. That article makes sense in some cases and none in others. The deer population is down due to the drought many died off this summer and many does had trouble entering estrous due to malnutrition. I'm sure the insects will be a problem for sure. Black bears? Sure TX has black bear but not much.
Just more doom and gloom from our media. |

DFW is officially out of drought conditions according to the US Drought Monitor. Other parts of the state aren't so lucky.
