ATX,

Dude, shut up! Don't blow my true identity! Not cool, man.

Spfld, MO weather is a lot different from Columbia, MO. The "I-44 corridor" is a weather channel term for a line that separates colder northern temps from warmer southern temps (and weather). Spfld can be 10-20 degrees warmer than Columbia, mo for much of the winter. When northern MO is getting snow and freezing temps, southern MO may get freezing rain at most. Like I said, spfld mo may be lucky to get 1 good snow each year.

I grew up 60 miles north of Columbia. Most of my family went to Mizzou. Ive lived in Spfld for 15 years. Trust me on this.

However, compared to Texas, all of missouri is cold as frick. Though, we can challenge y'all on heat every few years.

Maybe you can "challenge us on heat", but I have no idea if that is true, my guess is it is not. Growing up in Dallas when every summer we were all always trying to break the record of consecutive days over 100, I always thought Dallas was the most miserably hot place in the world. I was wrong.

In retrospect, the humidity in Dallas made it pretty horrible. My time spent out on workover rigs in South Texas/Laredo where it would consistently hit 112-115 every day of the week was no where near as bad as 100 in Dallas.


And yet, nothing is as bad as Houston. I always wondered if it was the most miserable city in the country, and from my research, it turns out it is.

Highest dew points in the country are in Key West and Houston. Yet Houston is hotter, lacks coastal breeze, and suffers from urban heat island effect. At one point it was the most air-conditioned city in the world, but I have no idea if it still holds that title. I hate doing any sort of work in Houston.
