"Rain turned to ice and snow as the temperature plunged 21 degrees — from 34 to 13 — between 5 and 6 a.m. Temperatures hovered around zero but the wind chill made it feel like 60 below."

DFW on the 28th was 106F followed by 108F and hovered there. Then the Calendar turned to September and began more records 109F each until labor day happened...111F. The hottest temperature of the past 30 years eclipse only by 1980's 113F. Not the longevity of 2011 but 2000 had a big punch.

You missed the little orange color in SE TX. Late July and and the first 2/3rd of August were well above normal for us with a long string, at my house(weatherbug site closest) of 100+ temps. No it did not = 2011 overall, but we had our longest run of highs above 95f in Houston and I think it was 34 days at or above 100 at that site.
