          Pffft, that’s practically chilly for January. Americans can’t imagine a 41 degree day in February? What a bunch of wimps!

          Feb 21, 1996… it hit 100 degrees in San Antonio, Texas so it’s done it in Winter as recently as… 30 years ago. (Just made me remember because I was there)

        Christmas hitting 85 is fairly normal now and i might have seen one closer to or maybe just over 90, but definitely never in the 100’s. Maybe out in west Texas it might have reached higher, but a meteorologist would need to dig that data up.

      Texas summers are only as hot as Australian winters. Guess all that big talk about being badasses was fake, Texans are so fragile they think winter temperatures are hot.

      Also maybe to help you out, the earth is actually round, and while the top half is tiled toward the sun, thus summer, the bottom hemisphere is actually winter. It’s incredible really

      I know you’re getting down voted, but I’m gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you were being incredibly shocked. People in Texas call this an average SUMMER day!!!
