What are winters like in Austin? (Dallas, Sudan: bills, plumbing, rating)

I first visited Austin in the spring (early-mid March) and we drove down from west central Texas. The town I was living in had snow on the ground... when we got to Austin we saw trees that were budding and blossoming and it was already pretty green. Oh, and as you can imagine, no snow.

Very spot on, winter here feels like October and early November in the Midwest. Except right when you start to get sick of the gray days, it's back to 70+ and Sunny days again. Unlike the winters up North that drag on for months.

And? Its got 800,000+ people. Its major especially in the context of Texas. Y'all needa stop acting like Fort Worth is a suburb of Dallas. It is its own city. If it was the same distance that San Antonio is from Austin from Dallas, no one would say act like its insignificant.

Yep, but even up north the winters can be surprisingly mild at least for a few days then its back to the freezer lol. Last winter the Twin Cities went from below zero to almost 40 degrees in 2 days, and even hit 60s in February. Even Chicago went almost a whole month of no snow. Global warming, yo. I think the entire central portion of the country is subject to extreme temperature swings in winter. Its just that in the southern part, it goes from 20s to 80s, and in the northern part it goes from -20s to 40s. You have to go to the coasts to have relative stability.

The gray in Austin does not follow with cold.

And is there a point to your comment -- aside from the fact that you seem to fancy yourself a weather expert for every location? Someone used to south Florida winters will find Austin cold and gray. Pretty simple statement of fact. Or perhaps you've never experienced a south Florida winter?

Snowflakes all over Austin. Infested with them.

I've heard the snowflakes can be pretty bad, so bad that they've blocked roads back in January after Trump's inauguration. Someone should really get the city a snowplow!

Are you sure you've been here for 2 years? I'm pretty sure we've hit record lows.
