Dallas Texas January Weather

check out the graph for the YELLOW LINE--that is the lows in Dallas in January --note that it rarely falls below 30 degrees
next month--FEB--normal low 39 degrees
March--normal low 46
really moderate winter weather for the most part

It is a common misconception very elegant phrasing --kudos for that...

Rarely falls below 30 degrees?

Are you sure you're talking about Dallas here?

LOL @ all the people saying this is not normal winter weather for Dallas.

Yes I did look at it & those are averages for the past how many years?

Denial is not just a river in Egypt.

The high tomorrow in Arlington is supposed to be 40 degrees with rain and/or more snow/ice likely. The low is going to be 30 degrees.

Yuck

So glad I'll be down in Houston where its a pleasant 67 degrees & mostly sunny.

A more informative statement would impart how many days in a month the temp falls below 32 degrees. In Feb., in Dallas, that would be a lot.

NOWHERE on that site--including the chart--does it say how many days the temp fell below 30 degrees within a given month.

The NFL can not have another SB in DFW because there will always be a risk that ice could cling to the roof of the stadium and start falling on game day. The stadium was lucky that the ice started thawing 2 days before the game. Next time they may not be so lucky - and the NFL will always remember this. There will be 32 other cities competing for other super bowls and they will remind the other team owners (the people who decide) that Cowboy Stadium is too risky.

After the Indy and NY super bowls, there will be a campaign to stop allowing SB's to be held in ANY city that has potential for hazardous weather in February. The event is too large to put hundreds of thousands of people at necessary risk. And 3 icy super bowls in 4 years will teach the NFL a lesson. Any way, I'm sure by then, the owners will be ready to go to nice warm places to have their big party.
They changed the forecast, its too warm to have snow.

Times aren't looking good for Dallas. First they lose their chance for a Super Bowl in their own brand spanking new multi-billion dollar stadium, then they lose the Super Bowl for good because of failure to get accumulated ice off the dome ahead of time. This lesson should've been learned from the collapse of that stadium roof up north just a couple of months ago.

Getting rid of the ice was about as hard as deicing an airplane.
