Field notes
1100m elevation Texas Panhandle — drier and milder than most of Texas (winter Jan 3°C average, summer peak 27°C with low humidity for the latitude). The structural local weather event is the wind — averages 13+ mph year-round, among the windiest US cities. Tornado risk April–June. Reliable sun.
