Winter in East Texas

East Texas is a land of pine forest covered hills and swampy cypress filled river bottoms.  Winter ranges from mild in the southern reaches to much harsher in the north nearer the Arkansas and Oklahoma borders.  But winter in these areas is nothing like winter in Colorado.  Here is a photo of bald cypress trees in an artesian lake on a foggy January morning--no ice or snow to be seen.  The thermometer will drop below freezing in the overnight at times, but high temperatures may even reach into the 70s at times.
