Winter Takes a Summer Vacation in Texas [PHOTOS]

As the rest of the country has had to endure record snowfall and freezing temperatures, Texas residents are being spared this winter season with warmer temperatures and fun-filled weekends outdoors. From my personal experience, Texas can get extremely hot during the summer months and knowing I will receive a well-needed break from the hot temperatures during the winter season is a welcome relief. So when winter goes on summer vacation in Texas, I find myself feeling somewhat irritated. For everyone else who has the same appreciation for cooler temperatures as I do, the thought that there is still hope for winter to make a comeback is somewhat reassuring. Until then, we can always support our fellow friends all around the country with unapologetic photographs of winters in the great state of Texas.
