Believe it or not, I like the cold weather. I love to snowboard and love cold lacrosse games. What I do not like about the cold in Dallas, is that I do not have enough clothes for this type of weather. I brought way too many shorts and t-shirts and not enough long sleeves. I find myself doing way too much laundry, and constantly having to re-wear things.
It is not only the cold that is bothering me either. The weather is entirely too inconsistent here. I never know how could it is going to be outside. I can look at the temperature on my computer before class, but it is almost never right. What I have began to do is look out the window to see what other people are wearing. I usually judge what to wear off of them. Unfortunately, they have the same problem as I have and are guessing what to wear also. I am always too cold in the morning because I do not have enough clothes on, but by the time it is two o'clock, i am burning up. I do not know what to do about it, but hopefully the weather becomes more consistent.

Coming from South Texas, I had some idea of what Dallas weather was like, but I would of never expected the weather to change dramatically from one day to the other like you mentioned. It's freezing one night then the next day in the afternoon the sun will be out and people will be swimming in the pool! The cold here is incredibly chilly as well. I have to put on 3 or 4 layers of clothes every time i want to go out at night.
South Texas it is hot year round, even in the winter. I'm not very accustomed to this weather and so I've become very ill. Luckily, Thanksgiving Break is near so I'll have plenty of time to recover and to restock on my winter supplies. I hope you don't get as sick as me, cover up!
The answer is simple. In the morning wear jeans, long sleeve shirt, and a jacket. Then at lunch, go back to the dorm and take off the jacket. If it is hot enough to shed the sleeves then shed the sleeves. If laundry is a concern then do what I do. There is not way it could stink that bad if it has been cold outside, so just fold it up and wear it another day. Saves time, money, and energy. As for consistency, Arkansas has about the same weather patterns as North Texas. One year we had a mini blizzard at the end of Febuary, then a wicked tornado tore through the state the next week. There is no consistency.
I'm from Dallas, and I NEVER get the weather right. I'm always dressed wrong: suede boots on a rainy day or a heavy sweater and then it warms to 70 by noon. I've given up.
