Nah even Texas is more climatological favorable . The panhandle is getting freezes now . Texas is extreme , everywhere west of the mountains will see far larger swings than us. Yes it’s warmer because it’s further south but it sees much larger deviations from average . Speaking for deviations , obviously you go far enough south it gets warm enough that despite the massive variation it’s less favorable .
Not sure what the best way to measure that is but I’m not sure it’s true that it’s more transient where you are. At least based on your hours below freezing , yours last February were considerably higher than even Raleighs record .Yep.
While Texas is warmer on average overall, it is prone to more extreme temperature swings because of the Chinook Winds.
That said, an event like 2021 is still quite rare. The temperature swings, while they can be extreme when they occur, are generally a lot more transient than what you guys see further east.

Except your second place record and third are still higher than our first and I am considerably further north and colder on average . Though I still sorta agree , I just don’t know how to measure this .February 2021 was a extremely rare event (talking once in 100-year) and not representative of how transient temperature swings typically are in Texas.
You forgot "Oh crap I have to put the top back on my Jeep Wrangler"If that were a cold forecast the following things would be said:
He's never right
He's a weenie
Look at x year
But the lead time
The cfs sucks
X will go wrong
Keep that in mind as you navigate this thread today

Wouldn’t count on much help from that be honest …. They erupt actually quiet bit.Winters only hope?View attachment 93070
We’ve had clunkers in recent years but 11-12 was the most boring winter of all. Literally not one thing to track. At least all the others tried to show a pulse.2011-2012 was a -nao in Dec/Feb and a not having the pv in AK in Jan away from being a great winter but them are the breaks.
