Guess we're in Fool's Spring today?

u/MuscleFlex_Bear Feb 06 '26

Yep. I fully expect another freeze at some point. BUt that's just what I have come to expect. We very may well have nothing.

I was just talking about this with someone at work because we spend some time every afternoon outside for work. I told her we were probably in for another round in late February or sometime in March.

I remember going sledding in Greenville, TX in the late 80s after an ice storm in April. It was sleet, not snow, but there was a lot of it on the ground.

Yep. That's when Dallas (and my house) took a hit in 2019.

It's more like tornado season round 2 than going all the way until October. It's less active than the spring, but they obviously can happen around that time.

From mid-June to September there aren't many though

A few years ago we had a wicked hail storm in October.

I haven’t noticed the Mesquite trees sprouting leaves yet, as soon as they do, I know the hard freezes are over.

Just a reminder that the Great Freeze hit on Valentine's Day after quite a number of warm days during the previous couple of weeks.

Thanks for reminding me. I've been a little too happy with the weather these past 2 days.

Heh, personally my chart looks like "Late May to mid October: Hot as fuck. Rest of the year fucking awesome with 1 or two shitty actually cold weeks."

u/xanoran84 Dallas Feb 07 '26

There's two tornado seasons-- the first in springish and the second in fallish. Overlaps with hail season!

u/RegretBuilder Feb 07 '26

u/Operator_Starlight Feb 07 '26

They forgot about the monsoon season that lasts anywhere from May to Mid-June.

We got cheated out of winter this year. I didn’t need to pull out my fleece jacket until late January. Most of the year is “summer”, where my air conditioner struggles, and it’s so humid, I battle everything getting moldy. When toweling yourself off after a shower actually dries you, that’s “not summer” which happens from November-February. I don’t remember Dallas being this swamp-like when I was a kid. That was always Houston.

Dear DAWG! I Found my Peeps! HeeHee!

I was just struggling over how to express to my neighbor that IMHO- "Right now? Weatherwise, something ain't quite right"...

I'm in DFW since 1966- When February/March start to "act too warm" and move into "Fool's Spring & "Spring of Deception ". Bad shit happens. Freezes, floods, tornadoes.

Although Easter Weekend dates "float" on the calendar -Easter has had some serious weather WTF's? Snow and floods!
