This may be difficult for some but I prefer sticking with facts and not exaggerate the actual numbers. If you are interested (and yes it is still hot) here is the real data from US Climate data for Dallas:
Average high in °F:
Jan-57
Feb-61
Mar-69
Apr-77
May-84 Jun-91
Jul-95
Aug-96 Sep-89
Oct-80
Nov-68
Dec-58
Minneapolis-St. Paul, in a walk. Progressive area, still with affordable housing, corporate headquarters, major state university and medical centers, and a climate that still has four seasons. Dallas is 90+ , with humidity, for six months.....
That's a slight exaggeration. Dallas isn't overly humid and it isn't really in the 90's consistently for 6 months. A lot of people say Minneapolis is sub freezing for 6 months straight. Also not true.
Minneapolis-St. Paul. I moved out of Denton, TX last year. Now I like DFW, I made good memories and friends there but the Twin Cities is tops. DFW has way worse traffic, no scenery, too much suburban sprawl and is a lot more ghetto. Texas food is great, though. I much prefer Minnesota's climate, too. Winter isn't bad at all, its nice and cold with snow that sticks the whole season. The lakes and ponds freeze over and hockey is super popular. Minnesota's way more outdoorsy and there's so much nature spots in just the cities alone than in all of North Texas.
When I lived in DFW there was very few places to go outside. Like, no cool rivers, lakes or waterfalls. There's no lakes there, just "reservoirs."
Both places have nice people, but I like how northerners are less religious and more open in general. A southerner will pretend everything is all right even when its not, a northerner will be more frank with you. Also, people are so lax here about things like pot and alcohol. I've heard old lady customers openly tell me that they were gonna go home and smoke weed. I can't imagine one of those uptight old southern ladies telling me that lol. Also, its way more LGBT friendly here.

Reservoirs aren't exclusive to the DFW area. Minnesota may have 10,000 lakes but Texas has at least 1,000 lakes because of water storage needs.
Houston has the Gulf Coast in Galveston and lakes in the northern suburbs. (The Gulf can be described as bathtub water in the summer. The humidity feels terrible until you get in the water and cool off.) San Antonio and Austin have lakes in their Hill Country suburbs. But East Texas is home to the bulk of the reservoirs.
I know for a fact that Lake Conroe and Lake Houston, both north of Houston, are popular with boaters and fishing. There are many lakefront suburban homes now along both lakes.

Yea, thats my point. No natural lakes in all of Texas except Caddo. The rest are all reservoirs. I mean, I've been swimming in Texas lakes and they're nice and all but they don't compare with our natural lakes.

11,842 lakes of 10 acres or more. We don't name our puddles like that state to the East.

Where we don't need to worry about Alligators and brain eating amoeba.
