If you don't mind the heat, you will love it here. The winters are just not that cold and when it is a bit cold, it doesn't last long. Winters are wonderful.

You might have noticed what appears to be palm trees planted ornamentally in some areas. They are actually palmettos (which are not palms) but this is still a good indicator that the winter weather does not get extreme - if that's your concern.

It occasionally gets pretty cold... I remember 1983 below zero and so does the weather service:

December 1983

-Series of cold waves December 18-30; a record 295 consecutive hours below freezing
-Inconvenienced travel, strained power supplies
-Many water pipes burst, damaging residences and causing icy roads
-Damage $50-100 million statewide; $1.5 million in Tarrant county alone

That's only 12 days, and it's pretty much a rarity.
