Does anyone know what the weather is like in Dallas for the month of January? I'd like to know so I'll know what to pack.
 
Dallas weatherWe went on a vacation to Dallas with the kids in early December about two years ago. It was the coldest it had ever been, about 30 degrees. It was extremely cold for us Texans! We aren't used to that.
Usually the winters in TX are mild, our winter consists of cold fronts and artic blasts that come in from the North.
It's kind of hard to tell since it is a month away, but right now our winter is relatively mild. I would suggest you pack your jacket, a light sweater, and then winter clothes but nothing bulky. There is no need for thermal underwear, gloves, hats, mittens, etc... It just doesn't get that cold here. And if we wake up to a cold morning, by afternoon the weather is warm. Right now in San Antonio the weather is 70 degrees in DECEMBER!!!
I hope it gets cold at least by Christmas, this weather stinks. I mean we only have serious winter weather about 1-2 months out of the year. And by serious I mean 30 degrees, maybe a little colder. I want it to come already.
Debbie :D :D
 
Weather in the DFW area changes daily. It will be 80 degrees one day 20 degrees the next. Best thing is to look online at the forcast before heading to Leadership.

Debbie about 7-9 yrs ago I lived in McAllen TX for about 3 months, snow flurried on 4-12-xx; I couldn't stay in my apt as no heat!!! 2 yrs ago when I relocated to the LGRV WE had snow started on Christmas Eve and stuck to our warm ground and most of Christmas my co-worker's and their families who've never seen it really enjoyed it. They all couldn't understand why I left it!!! It was pretty snow, not icey, etc. :)

I sure wouldn't mind snow every Christmas Eve and Christmas, as I keep forgetting about it being Christmas until going to the Post Office or the busy holiday traffic, hard to get used to Palm Trees decorated on Christmas too.
 
I thought Dallas...

got cold and even snowy at times :)
 
Weather is crazyThe weather is contantly changing and I agree to look up the weather to see what it is going to be like. I am hoping by January that it will get cold in TX. I like the cold. I don't want it extremely cold but my kids would love to see snow. They never have. It snowed here in SA in 1986. I was 9 years old and still remember making snowmen. IT was so much fun.
I know as a native Texan I probably couldn't survive the extreme cold that is usually associated with snow for very long. My body probably couldn't handle it, but I would love it for a little while.
Debbie :D
 
Well let's see for the past week, we've either had all our windows and doors open & wearing shorts or our air conditioner on. Today its gloomy and we're supposed to see a drop in temp with the rain that is predicted. Today the high will be around 60. It is a little chilly in the house this morning I think my college son forgot to shut the upstairs windows when he came in last night.

For Leadership I wouldn't bring sweaters but, I would bring a light jacket.

If anyone ahs othe rquestions I might be able to help.

The saying goes, "If you don't like the weather, wait 30 minutes" It is constantly changing in Texas (almost every part). I went to college in Arlington (sister city to Dallas). You never can tell. It would be best to just wait till the last minute to pack and check the Weather Channel.

Will you have a Cheffer pin? Hope to see you guys there!
 
Weather for leadership is Clear Monday and Teusday and Partly Cloudy on Wednesday. Monday High 62/Low 33 Tuesday 56/32 and Wednesday 57/42

Please be aware that our weather can change drasticly in the blink of an eye - But it's usually rather mild in the winter compared the our northern friends. I moved here with my family from New Hampshire over 35 years ago.
 
Can't be as bad as...Wyoming!!! I got back from a show a while ago...and it was -15.....BRRRRR!! I hate carrying my crate in when I feel like my hands are going to fall off!!

See you all in Dallas!!:D :D :D :D
