It's interesting to note that Texas comprises about 5 major climatic regions. Where Caleb lives, in the panhandle, they hit the jackpot for both summer and winter weather---in most years, several days north of 100 °F and several days below 10 °F. Furthermore, there's no appreciable topography between Caleb and the Canadian province of Manitoba, just what's known as the Great Plains; so they will definitely see some cold air masses in a normal winter.
If you approach Texas from my dwelling place, you might very well see a sign that says "Welcome to Texas" followed by one that says "El Paso, 800 miles!"
P.S. Looking good, Caleb!
