Hey welcome - I used to live in Texas for about 5 years. Waaaayyy tooo HOT for my blood.
I lived in Ft Worth a while then out in the country north west of Waco and finally East Texas near Tyler.
I live in Colorado now ~ we just had like 15" of snow between wednesday and thursday fall so it's not hot here that's for sure.
