To those living in Dallas,TX, how much snow do you normally receive and how much have you had this winter?

Question

Just wondering if global warming is affecting you.

Answer 1

You think 3 months of winter in Dallas TX, means something about global warming?

Utterly ridiculous.  

Weather factors can overcome global warming for a short time.  It happened in 1982, 1991-1992, 1999-2000.  EVERY TIME global warming came back stronger than ever.  Proof.

As long as we keep making greenhouse gases in enormous amounts, global warming will dominate in the long run.  It's simple physics.

Answer 2

We normally don't get snow. We get ice. Maybe once a year. The past few days have been way out of character with anywhere from 3-7 inches of snow. But oh, do we love it!

Answer 3

I don't live in Dallas, but I live in Texas, so I'll answer your question anyway.

Normally, we expect to get no snow here in Austin. This winter looks like it will exceed our expectations. Temps yesterday (before a cold front blew in and brought freezing rain with it) were in the mid to upper 80's, much like they've been since December.

I would explain to you the difference between short term regional weather variations and long term global climatic trends, but you know.
