i live in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex and i swear we have our own whether completely independant from the rest of the world
we have the excruciatingly hot days vastly outnumber the freezing cold days
we have the freezing cold days vastly outnumber the comfortable temp days
and we are the only place south of the Mason-Dixon-Line that has "Indian Summers", where our temps get above 90% on the specific days that the rest of the USA is covered in Snow
also we have wierd "cold snaps" where the hottest day of the year and coldest day of the year happen in the same freaking week
and ever summer we somehow have the same "hot rain" thing that Florida has, where the air is both raining and really hot, where you step outdoors and it feels like you've stepped into a wet sauna
also
we have flash floods and tornados
