No, it won’t. But it should. November 25 is the average freeze date for Dallas, which, btw, enjoys a growing season of 267 days (compared to, say, Dalhert, which has only 175, or Dawson, which has 214).
The record high for Dallas was 115 in 1909. The record low was 1 in 1989. Is that an argument against global warming or a matter of statistical insignificance?
I know all this because I am perusing the 2010-2011 edition of the Texas Almanac, once published by A.H. Belo and now published, I see, by the Texas Historical Society.

I’ve been there and while it may feel like “Dalhert” or even “Dalhurt,” it really is Dalhart.
The ‘89 low (and this happened right around Christmas) may have officially been 1 degree above zero, but that’s at the airport (either Love or DFW). As George Carlin’s ‘Hippy Dippy weatherman’ Al Sleet always noted, “That’s really stupid because I don’t know anyone who lives at the airport, man.”
In University Park, it was officially -3 below zero at our quaint manor. Burrrr city!
I blame Rick Perry and global warming.
