Eat
If Texas was a sandwich, what would it be? If you said a brisket sandwich, then you agree with Chowhound’s list of “The Most Iconic Sandwich in Each State.” Way cooler than Idaho’s, if you ask us.

How is winter weather looking this year?

The new year has arrived, but we know the question on your mind, Fort Worthians — what does the weather forecast look like? Thanks to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Climate Prediction Center, we know which winter weather trends to expect in our city this month.
🌨️ Precipitation
Winter precipitation under La Niña predicts drier-than-average conditions across Texas through February. Due to the expected forecast, it’s likely drought conditions will persist.
Jump into January
In January, the average high and low temps are between 55.4° + 38.7°, the coldest month of the year. Kick the new year off strolling around the museums with a cup of coffee.
Happy new year, Fort Worth. The team is back in full-swing today. Like most of you, I have a few New Year’s resolutions on my list but the first task on mine is surviving a dry January. I’m a snob for a fancy cocktail. Hopefully this list of mocktails will help me through the hardest month of 2025. Cheers?
