Yes, Dallas does get snow. While it may not be known for heavy snowfall, the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) metroplex experiences measurable snow almost every winter season.
Historical Snowfall in Dallas
Historical data indicates that the Dallas-Fort Worth area has consistently recorded some amount of snow each winter since at least 1898. This means there has never been a completely snowless winter in over a century of records.
The amount of snow can vary significantly from year to year. Below is a breakdown of how many winters have fallen into different snowfall categories:
| Snowfall Category | Number of Winters (Since 1898) |
|---|---|
| Only a trace of snow | 33 |
| Less than one inch | 24 |
| 1 to 1.9 inches | 14 |
| 2 to 4 inches | 30 |
| 4 to 10 inches | 20 |
As seen from these statistics, while some winters only produce a dusting, others can bring several inches of snow, occasionally reaching up to ten inches. These occurrences, though not as frequent or heavy as in more northern climates, are a regular part of the Dallas winter experience.
