False. DFW is too wild in the winter to be a subtropical paradise. Yes DFW is a subtropical climate, but it is not a paradise IMO.

For a subtropical climate, it's quite nice. Variable winters, not a lot of rain days, spring wet season and not too humid.

I'm assuming this thread is for people who want mild to warm, moderately rainy, stable palm tree havens. For those people, it's not a subtropical paradise. For me, go a bit north and west and there are some of the worlds best subtropical climates.

No option for it is a subtropical paradise and is solidly subtropical???

Agree.

No paradise....it can get pretty cold in winter...highs even below freezing.
And summers enjoy Texas sized heat waves...you either like that or not,
for me it's not.

Austin/San Antonio are better.

El Paso...now you're talking close to paradise

Heck, even they're too cool in the winter (Sydney's outer suburbs regularly record frost in the winter).

A true subtropical paradise, IMO, is a city like Brisbane, Tampa, Hong Kong, New Delhi...

Even Nice, France at 43N is more of a subtropical paradise than Dallas. Dallas as far as subtropical climates go, is a total fail.

This is how subtropical paradises look.

Dallas has a monster of a summer and a typical "maritime" winter in terms of avg temps but with brutal swings from day to day.

Subtropical paradise? What have you been drinking?

Cities where you can fry an egg on the sidewalk during the summer and shovel snow off that same sidewalk in winter are not subtropical paradises.
