we very much wanted to move to Texas, it has so many positive elements (especially outside the largest cities)
but we checked the weather reports for all 254 counties (yup! 254)..... and they are all 100+ degrees in summer. All of them.
Texans are tough ! which is a compliment. i fear we are a bit more delicate, 100+ degrees scares us away, alas. wonderful state!
But it is a dry heat ... (ducking!)

As a 6th generation Texan born in the Northeast corner... if you stay north of Livingston the heat is not (relatively) too bad. Heading back south to the Gulf you are best to brace yourself with the humidity and the same temperatures.
Living in Texas makes it all worthwhile. In the spring when the weather and tornadoes tear through, you are glad you have been a good neighbor so you can retrieve your lawn furniture, dog, wife, and kids from the neighbor’s lawn “-)
By September, due to the excessive heat, folks are positively mad and a ton of fun. Just when it gets going good the first cold front comes and refreshes everyone. Next thing you know it is rutting season for the bucks!
Lord! I do love the place. The people make it the best place in the world!
