^^ Yes it does.

I find winter stats kinda boring though, so I'll be quiet.

Default Lubbock would be my pick since I like cold weather!

Born and grew up in Lubbock. Live in Dallas now and have for many years. I would choose Lubbock because it's colder than many Texas cities. (I would choose Amarillo or somewhere north of Lubbock, but they get too much snow for my liking.) So I pick my hometown....good ol' Lubbock.


(Don't ask me about the Spring sandstorms there, however.)

I forgot about Amarillo. That would be another choice. Dallas would be horrid during the summer, but the rest of the year seems very pleasant.

Wasn't aware of the sandstorms. I'm just a naive east coaster.

Awhle back I asked a question on the Texas Forum.

I asked where the dividing line between the humid, green, of East Texas changes over to the dry, less humid area.

One poster from Texas replied-------" heading west out of Dallas, when Abeline is 40 miles ahead in your headlights, you will feel the difference "

Several Texas posters agreed with him.

The dusty days have become a lot less often lately because it has been a little more wet and farming practices have improved. There were only been a couple of days last spring that were like that.

Of the larger cities in Texas, I like Lubbock's climate the best, but the Fort Davis/Alpine area is the best overall IMO.

I have heard that the dust situation is better now. We have pretty deep roots here now, but if we didn't, I would love to be living in Lubbock again, and weather is the primary reason. Not only is it colder than Dallas, but it's a dry climate and I love that.

Amarillo, because it has somewhat 4 seasons and less humidity.
