It was 80 degrees here in Dallas 2 days ago. Supposed to get freezing rain and sleet and not see much above freezing this weekend.

Gotta love Dallas. If you dont like the weather here. Just wait a day or 2 and it'll change :p

I definately can't wait for some constant 70+ degree days with some nice mild nights.

Honestly, I don't mind the snow, and don't mind the 20-30 deg. temps (which is usually the case when it snows).

I absolutely hate the subzero cold that usually follows.

Sigh... yeah. I miss the good weather.

3 days ago, it was 83 degrees and sunny.

Tonight, it's raining. Phooey.
