Some of the coldest weather that has been seen, especially across the central corridor of the nation! In some areas, especially S. Texas, they haven't seen cold like this since the brutal February of 1989!!
Wow, some of those temperatures in Texas and the states just above it are just surreal. There are places in Russia and northern Scandinavia not as cold as Dallas today!
Those are some really detailed and comprehensive local forecasts (and keeping of weather records as well) that you get in America compared to over here. I'm wondering as well, what sort of sub-tropical flora can live in a climate that generally is sub-tropical but can get these sudden freezes?

Actually, these "sudden" freezes are quite rare (most of the Rio Grande Valley averages from less than 1 freeze per year to as many as around 5-7). So, about the only thing that can be done, is to cover up the flora, or do like they do in Florida, which is to allow water to freeze over the plants, citrus, etc., which acts as an insulating barrier to the cold temps (similar to how Igloos work).
