Legal Definition for a Desert

Technically, any area that receives less than ten inches of a rain in a year is considered a desert. On average, Arlington receives around 38 inches of rain in a given year, so by legal definition, no way could it be considered a desert.

Don't Get Me Wrong, It Gets Hot in Arlington

One thing I don't miss about going to Texas Rangers games in the old stadium were those August day games. Some days it felt like you were in the middle of a desert watching that team play. The beer man definitely earned his tips for me on those days.

I Just Hope Ohio State Can Survive the Desert

Arlington, Texas this week will have highs in the 50's and lows in the 30's. True desert temperatures right there. I hope the Buckeyes don't get a heat stroke in AT&T Stadium on Friday, but they will probably have the roof closed to keep those desert conditions out.
