Groundhog says winter is still six weeks away, what does science say about Texas?

Thursday morning Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow. As folklore says, this means another six weeks of winter. As North Texas emerges from a major winter weather event, this is the last thing people probably want to hear. Ice covered much of the Dallas-Fort Worth area. cause school closures and traffic accidents.

February can actually be warmer than usual.

The long-term forecast, prepared by the Center for Climate Prediction, calls for above-normal temperatures in North Texas, as well as in the eastern part of the state and country.

So, Phil, I’m sorry that your prediction may not be correct in Texas.
