Colder and snowier, perhaps? Whatever the reason is good luck and I am sure you will be still just as active on the forum as before. Of course you know DFW will now have a big snow or two every year now.

There were several reasons but yeah Ill still be watching the weather down here for many reasons

And yes I fully expect Dallas to be snowier now

I always curse OK when I drive through it to get to Kansas because road construction somehow stops traffic completely in that state. AND the roads are crap compared to Kansas or even Texas. But, the city of Tulsa is nice. Close to the Ozarks, KS and yet not too far from either KC or DFW. It’s a nice town. If I lived in OK, it would be my ideal spot. Severe weather and snow. Less cap busts.

Yeah that's a big reason while Tulsa won out over like OKC especially was the scenery the first time I drove up there the hills in the middle of the city really impressed me and the 2nd time I ended up doing a little hike up Turkey Mountain on the other side of the river. Also speaking of the river I'm gonna be living really close to it and saw some scenic spots already to check out in the middle of winter lol

Numerous other shrubs and landscaping plants are brown as well; jasmine, red tips, nandinas, etc. Will be interesting later this month what turns green and what does not. Huge losses everywhere I'm sure.

My Sagos have turned tan. I covered and wrapped them. Lower leaves have green stems inside. Not mushy, which is a good sign. Can't pull leaves out. They survived 16 degrees about 10 years ago uncovered and turned tan back then. Cut them off and were stumps until May or June when they put out new shoots. No experience with 6, which is what it got here. Hopefully ok. My Monterrey Oak is dropping leaves, and Indian Hawthornes turned brown. Not sure if they made it. Not dropping leaves. Ligustrum turned brown and dropping leaves. Roses took a beating. Texas Olive tree turned
brown and dropping leaves. Just a wait and see game. I read where dropping leaves is a good sign(?). Only time will tell.

I can tell you that Hawthorns turning brown is bad news. My ligustrum has dropped half of their leaves but it's their first year and I have no idea if that's normal.

I'm north of Tulsa and the roads here are better than they used to be. It's been constant construction though the past couple of years in some areas

It’s pretty bad down here. There are so many fully bronzed palms. Also, a number of ornamental shrubs and grasses that do just fine in our mild freezes got completely torched in this one. It’s a little early to have a full damage assessment but so far it looks bad.
