Can anyone suggest what we might expect from the weather in Dallas in late January? (I'm interested since I'll be in the group walking each morning to the Grand K.) Thanks, in advance. -- Bruce W. Mohler Systems Programmer (aka Staff Analyst) bruno@sdcc10.ucsd.edu voice: 619-586-2218

Expect from Dallas what you would expect from most any place in the winter. Last time we were there, it snowed (a little), and there was ice on the road. The days were also bright and sunny, so all the ice melted (except under the bridges, where you could always go to watch Texans smash into each other. I'd guess that you can count on weather from the high 20's to the mid 50's. Bring a coat, gloves, and a sweater. It's unlikely you'll need all of them at once, but having a choice is nice. -- -- ============ -- =========== -- =========== -- =========== -- =========== -- "The only thing that separates us from the animals is superstition and mindless rituals".

Seriously. Personally, I'm betting on rain and medium warm, since that's the normal average. It's just that the 'average' there (and here) comes from quite wide extremes instead of a fairly narrow range. Not much help, I know, but its true. We had to run air conditioning at home less than a week ago, two days later light to medium jackets would be very appropriate during the 'heat of the day'.

A few years ago I flew in a few days early to visit my brother, and when I arrived it was 70 degrees and sunny. The next morning the wind chill was below zero, and there was a bit of snow. The remainder of the week was around freezing. I don't know if this is typical!!! --Jeremy -- Jeremy Epstein UUCP: uunet!trwacs!epstein Trusted X Research Group Internet: epstein@trwacs.fp.trw.com TRW Systems Division Voice: +1 703/876-8776 Fairfax Virginia

As a native Dallasite and area resident for over 24 years, I would suggest that
you bring a little of everything except shorts and bathing suits. It is likely
to be anywhere from 25 to 75 degrees f. in the day and 20 to 60 in the evenings
and radical changes fro day to day are not unusual. It was in the 60s yesterday
and it will be good if we hit 30 today (12/21/90). This is pretty typical of
north Texas weather. So my advice to you is: bring the heavy stuff, but don't
_expect_ anything. I will try and remember to post weather reports as we near
the conference dates. See you there!
Cheers,
Marc

At one point I think they had freezing rain and ice pellets. Fog seems to be a popular item. -- Pat Hertel Canadian Meteorological Centre Analyst/Programmer 2121 N.

Bruce W. Mohler asks: >Can anyone suggest what we might expect from the weather >in Dallas in late January? (I'm interested since I'll be >in the group walking each morning to the Grand K.) Sunshine or fog, clear skys or clouds and rain, between 30 and 60 degrees. So, basically, it depends. Our normal highs for this time of year are ~50, lows in the mid 40s, but it has been colder than that for quite some time. Freezing rain is "uncommon," so if there's ice outside you don't want to go ANYWHERE since no one knows how to drive on slick roads. "Typical" weather for January alternates between a few days of mostly or completely cloudy with mist/showers and a few days of perfect blue skys. It just depends if you get lucky or not. :-) /\ Dave Shaver \\ CONVEX Computer Corporation, Richardson, TX \/ Internet: shaver@convex.com UUCP: uunet!convex!shaver
