I wouldn’t be surprised, Dallas is much further inland. So, it doesn’t get as humid as the cities along the Texas Gulf Coast (For Example)

Last summer wasn’t as intense as it usually is. We see about 18 triple digit days (on average) here in North Texas, last year we got only 10. Hopefully, this year will be a repeat performance of last year because it can get absolutely brutal here in the summer.

So glad I moved to DFW! I am absolutely loving the flora here and welcome being back in a humid locale. IT IS in fact green with trees AND the people are friendly. There is a bit of a can do attitude here which is okay. My pool man lectured me about taking responsibility for my own pool and not relying on him too much, and I think this might be a Texan attitude coming through. It's so wonderful to hear the cacophony of bugs again and feel topical dewy moisture on my skin. I don't get why people complain about how this area is not scenic. It reminds me very much of the coastal Carolinas and is really quite beautiful with all the greenery. Loved the rainstorm this morning and smelling fragrant plants again! Love the softer sunlight than the harsher light out West as well.

Welcome. How long have you been in DFW for now? What part of town did you settle in?

That great! I’m glad you like it here so far. Keep us posted.

Yea... I don't get the "brown and dull" description of Dallas. It's very green with a fun mixture of plants that can grow here in our hardiness zone. Fall is not as vibrant as the trees that do lose their leaves don't do so until late November or into mid-December which is going into the Christmas season. lol

I feel like we have just the right amount of greenery to still have a big city feel without that feeling of being surrounded by concrete.

I don't think Dallas has much scenic beauty but depends on your taste. Some areas of greater Dallas are like a prairie with few trees at all.

So far, not so good.

Old DFW neighborhoods have a lot of beautiful mature trees. Unfortunately, people here dont like tree for fear of foundation problem as well as falling tree during storm. Most of new neighborhoods are devoid of tree and people dont plant them like they used to.
