Does it snow in Dallas? -

This might sound like a silly question but I have never been to Dallas Texas and I was wondering if it snows often there.

Dallas may get snow once or twice a year, but it s easy to forget because it seldom sticks. We actually had a beautiful snowfall the first part of December this year, and a few of the northern suburbs were white for several hours, but the southern Dallas suburbs had to enjoy seeing the snow falling because it melted as soon as it hit the ground. That s because a couple days before the temp was 70, so the ground was warm. What you re more likely to see in Dallas in January or February is ice. We get sleet every winter and the freeways become elevated ice rinks for cars.However, that seldom lasts more than a day. Summer on the otherhand lasts for 5 months or more.

Not often.When I was growing up in Dallas, it snowed an average of about one or two days per year, and the snow almost always melted by the end of the day.We also got, on the average, about one ice storm per year. An ice storm (freezing rain/sleet) is different from (and much worse than) a snowfall.The climate seems to have gotten warmer, though, so we ve had some recent winters with no snowfall at all.People in Dallas still sing Jingle Bells at Christmas time, but I can t figure out why. Most of us have never seen a one-horse open sleigh, or any other kind of sleigh.

It may snow about 1-3x a yr. The snow rarely sticks we mainly get rain that turns into ice on the roads. The most snow I have ever seen in Dallas is 6inches and it was a big deal. People made snowman and had snowball fights.

it does not often maybe once or twice per yr, and every few years we get a few heavy snows.

At times say 1 to 3 times a year

yes it rare nothing serious

Yes, but rarely. It has even snowed in the past two weeks.

What is there to do in and near chicago? -

I am off for winter break and I want to do fun things during it. However, I don t feel like ice skating or seeing a movie. I also hate museums. What can I do with my college friends or 10 yr old brother in chicago and the western suburbs?

Here are some other things to look into.....Untouchables Tourhttp://www.gangstertour.com/Weird Chicago Tourhttp://www.weirdchicago.com/Supernatural Chicagohttp://www.supernaturalchicago.com/Chicago Food Planet Tourhttp://www.chicagofoodplanet.com/Huntinghttp://www.roosterheaven.com/location.ht��Snowboardinghttp://www.ragingbuffalo.com/snow_home.h��Paintballhttp://www.chicagoland-paintball.com/http://www.illinoispaintball.com/Mayor Daley��s Holiday Sports Festivalhttp://chicago.events.org/viewevent_3478��Putting Edge Fun Center (3 Chicagoland locations)http://www.puttingedge.com/index.php?opt��

Go to Streets of woodfied in Schaumburg, take your brother to Legos store take him to the Game Work. Afterward take him to Chipotle for lunch. There is a big theatre there too. Just north of it you can take a free shuttle bus it takes you to Woodfield mall. It is a biggest retail mall. In Chicago, u must go to Michigan Ave. There, u can take ur brother to Hershy chocolate store Ghirardelli chocolate shop. Go to down town Naperville, it has the feel of the city in a suburb. You also have downtown Evanston downtown Arlington Heights, they have the feel of downtown Chicago. Go to broadway Diversey to hang out . Oh gosh, there are so many places to go to. Have a fabulous stay in Chicago. Happy turkey day too!

Think Blues. Kingston Mines ort Rosa s are the local choices.Second City for comedy.

Where did the title District of Colombia (DC) come from? -

As in Washington DC...where d it come from, who came up with it...

First it was Territory of Columbia, Columbia being a poetic name for the United States in use at that time.Later the Territory was named District of Columbia. And yes, the poetic name was in honor of Christopher Columbus. And if you notices it is the English for Crist��bal Col��n.This is my help from Washington, D.C. United States of America.Please pick an answer as the best answer, even if it is not mine.

The city was named after George Washington, the first President of the United States. The district s name, Columbia , is an early poetic name for the United States and a reference to Christopher Columbus, an early European explorer of the Americas

I think its because DC is not a state, nor is it part of any state (technically) so it is considered a district of Columbia(which i assume is the surrounding area).

What is crime like in New Orleans, and will it get better? -

I ve heard that crime in New Orleans is absolutely terrible, and that s the main reason my family wouldn t want to move there if they had an opportunity to. Will the crime get better? Also, my family has said that they wouldn t want to move to New Orleans because of the aftermath and effects of Katrina. Is it still that bad?

New Orleans has a high murder rate because drug dealers are killing each other and the still-reduced population caused the rate to skyrocket (rate = population divided by crimes). However, other crime is at or below the average for cities. Use basic common sense + stay away from people who buy/sell/use crack cocaine and your chances of being the victim of anything worse than a parking ticket or hangover are very low.The city and metro area are still recovering from Katrina, and the process will take more years. Realize that Katrina was the worst natural disaster in US history and turned 90,000 square miles (an area larger than the UK) into a rubbish heap overnight. Fortunately, the historic parts of the city were all built on high ground and didn t flood. There has also been huge progress in the past 4 years and most of the metro area now looks like Katrina never happened.There was a fear the soul of the city had been destroyed by Katrina, but that has not been the case.In practical terms, the city metro area are operating normally. Utilities like electricity/water/phone and city services like police/fire/ems/sanitation were all problematic in 2005-2006 but are back to normal. The area s entertainment/tourism industry has also recovered.

What to wear in cold weather? -

Okay, I m from California and I ve seen snow once in my life. I m going to a 2-night college visit in December in Ohio where it should be around 40 degrees. I ve never been in snow, so what do you wear? Long underwear? How many layers?

You don t need to wear long underwear lol. You should be fine with jeans, and a couple layers on top like a shirt and sweater or hoodie. Take the warmest coat you own and if you have a scarf, mittens and hat take that too. Unless there is a serious cold streak, december isn t usually too cold or snowy. (40 is not cold to me) It s not like you will be spending hours outside, so for the small amounts of time you will be outside, walking from building to building on your tour, you should be fine. If you dont have a winter coat, then you can always buy one when you get there if you find you need one. I usually never wear my winter coat, I get by with a hoodie and north face fleece.

I will be back in Ohio in December too! Right now, I m living in Rome, Italy; however, my family is all from Ohio. I also used to live in California, so I m used to changing climates.Don t worry too much about the weather. You may be shocked, since you re used to warm weather. I wouldn t go as far as wearing long underwear? I mean, I don t really think anybody does that. Jeans, turtle necks, and sweatshirts are normal. In fact, you ll see many college students bumming around in sweatpants, UGG boots, sweatshirts, and scarves.If you have jeans, sweatshirts, scarf, gloves, hat (if you want), boots (even cute rain boots), then you should be fine =]. Oh yeah, a coat would be nice too...Best of luck!

Since you re not used to cold weather, it s going to seem colder to you than it would to Ohioans. There s not much snow in December. Snow falls in 30 degree temps, so that s mainly at night. Water freezes at 32 degrees, and that seems to hold true in Ohio weather. My mom s advice when I was never sure what to wear: Wear lots of layers. That way, you can peal layers off if you get warm. Most Ohioans are comfortable in jeans, a couple long sleeve shirts, medium winter jacket, very comfortable shoes since you ll be doing a lot of walking.

Well I m from Cleveland I m a freeze baby so yes I would say that you should wear long underwear. Jeans and a sweater over it as well as a warm jacket with a scarf, hat gloves. You should be good. Warm socks and proper shoes or boots if you d like or it s snowing.
