Also why most of the fan palms you see in Austin have yellow branches. All that heat yet much of Texas has the same vegetation as Kansas.
The eastern part of Texas does not have similar vegetation to Kansas, for christ sakes it's an extension of what you'd see from Louisiana to Northern Florida, long leaf/loblolly pine forests and bald cypress swamps, where the heck is that in Kansas huh?
Austin is a mixture of the Deep South and the southwest with native live oak and cedar trees, the palms that can be damaged in Austin are mexican fan palms but sabal palmettos are not normally being damaged, ain't none of those palms growing in Kansas give me a break.
You're only looking at the northern panhandle of Texas being close to Kansas but that's a small part of Texas.

Now this I do agree with. Even with the cold snaps, east and southeast Texas w/ places like Piney Woods and Big Thicket are extensions of the Deep South flora and fauna. Definitely no sabal minors, cypress swamps, quercus virginiania, alligators, etc in Kansas.
Even farther west in I-35 cities like Austin and Dallas where there are less pines, they still have evergreen "escarpment live oaks" (quercus fusiformis), which only extends to extreme southern OK at best (hence, nothing like Kansas).
Arid parts of Texas, of course, have some vegetation typical of Chihuanhuan deserts areound New Mexico (so, still not like Kansas).
Sure is jack when Tampa saw 19 to 24f year after year bra.
You are right, the 1980s brought more regular cold to Tampa. It's like a switch flipped starting 1990, but even from then till 2010ish, you still had more frequent 20s compared to the latest few years.
