they're used to deal with it even. btw, I can deal with heat pretty well, I just ignore it.

and I still keep wearing t-shirts under my shirts, to prevent sweaty marks in my armpits. beauty over comfort.

You do get used to it, though seasonal changes in temperate zones make it harder. besides, there is also an infrastrcuture of temperature control, mainly AC. Europeans are underequiped when it come to it.

Temperature range in Texas populated areas (excluding unihabited mountain tops and deserts with greater extremes) goes for -30*C to 47*C, try getting used to that. The upper end would be simlar to several inhabited parts of Israel.

This is really inhumane
If you let your old people bake to death, at least give them something decent to drink !
However, this is the real problem that you're showing. Old people are forgotten by their families more often than not. A few phone calls, a few visits as year, and that's the ticket for most families

I'm sure -30C is typical winter temperature in Texas

If you dont care about someone you shouldnt pretend you do. If you care enough for a few visits a year, fine, do that. Relative or not doesnt mean a thing...

Nope, it a record low temp in an inhabited area (town of Seminole in the panhandle plains). It may be a more common one on top of the some of the mountains.

	Increase Your PM Length

Deserts can get hideously cold at night, regardless of latitude. The lack of humidity and cloud cover mean that heat loss to space is maximized.

Texas has a lot of desert.

"Texas has a lot of desert."


Including mountains in deserts, they get even colder.

-30 C

sorry, don't believe it

Deserts do NOT get that cold at night. At least not in Arizona, California, or Nevada.

You might see it get down to about 0 or 10 degrees F at best (or worst).

I found this on another site:

quote: February 8th, 1933, 23 below zero, Seminole, Texas, still the coldest it has ever been in Texas!

http://www.ocs.orst.edu/reports/seneca.html

Since everything else on that site is in degrees F, that number probably is, too -- which makes for -30.56 degrees C.

Of course, that is the lowest officially recorded temperature.

This has been a very mild summer for Arkansas. Camden never broke the 100 mark, and about half the summer, the high didn't even go past 90.

Just saw that data and thought this thread might be interested in it
