Arctic cold stiffens panhandle town of Tulia
By Bandera Spirits of Texas
On Feb. 12, 1899, Tulia, Texas, reported the coldest temperature ever recorded in the state: minus 23 degrees Fahrenheit.
This was part of the Big Freeze, an infamous norther that killed 40,000 cattle across the state overnight.
This temperature was matched in Seminole in 1933. The highest temperature recorded for Texas was 120.
