I wouldn't have thought Texas would get all that cold. But I've been in Galveston in the summer, which was hot and humid and full of mosquitoes. Plano probably isn't as bad as all that.

It depends on where in Texas. Tonight's overnight low in the Dallas area will be around 30F. Right now it's 62F. It'll probably be about 22F overnight on Thursday. It gets into the single digits here once in a while. Normal temps at this time of year range from a low of 33 to a high of 53. It's generally about ten degrees cooler in the panhandle, and the winters on the coast are warmer.
I mean it ain't upstate NY or Minnesota, but it gets cold when that north wind comes whippin' down the plains. Of course, the real winter fun comes when the high one day is near 90 and the next day we get snow. Is it any wonder half of us are walking around with bronchitis?
Summers in Texas are universally hot. Our highs in July and August run right around 100, plus the prevailing wind is from the south - pulling moisture up from the Gulf of Mexico. It feels hotter than it gets in Tuscon sometimes. It's not enough moisture to produce rain, generally speaking, but sticky clothes are the norm at that time of year.
