I'm about a hundred miles east of Dallas, but about the same latitude. Last winter we had one day that was 18 degrees, with allot of others that are well below freezing. Black ice is a major concern here. We also get snow a few times a year, but it rarely sticks or builds up. Two years ago, we had four inches that lasted half the day!!!
There are aligators all over the place here. The Sabine river is the county line about 6 miles north of me, and it's full of aligators. Some well over ten feet long!!!
I don't know what they do when it gets below freezing, or how they make it through winter, but there are enough of them to prove that they don't have any trouble with it.
