Climate

Dallas has a humid subtropical climate, yet this part of Texas also tends to receive warm, dry winds from the north and west in the summer. Winters are generally mild, with typical daytime highs between 55°F and 70°F and nighttime lows between 35°F and 50°F. However, strong cold fronts known as "Blue Northers" sometimes pass through Dallas, plummeting nightly lows below 30°F. Snowfall is seen average 2-4.5 days out of the year and snow accumulation is typically seen at least once every winter.[1]

A couple of times each year, warm and humid air from the south overrides cold, dry air, leading to freezing rain, which often causes major disruptions in the city if the roads and highways become dangerously slick. the other hand, daytime highs above 65°F are also not unusual during the winter seas. In sum, extremes in weather are more readily seen in Dallas and Texas as a whole than alg the Pacific and Atlantic coasts, due to the state's location in the middle of the U.S.
