Snowbirding in Texas
How far south does one need to be to normally avoid freezing temperatures? Is San Antonio far enough? TIA

Free opinion, worth what one pays for it:
"Lots to do in the SA area is my main draw. We have friends that winter "in the valley" but from their descriptions, it is not the place for us. We have weathered the Mid-West winters for 67 years now so just looking for above freezing temps, not sunbathing time."
I lived in Ewe-stun for the better part of 12 years....got to where I simply couldn't stand to spend anymore time in Ewe-stun than I had to (work related). So every chance I could, I would get out of Houston: Hill Country, the Valley, Dallas (not much better), East Texas, West Texas, La., etc.
I always found San Antonio to be a great place to go to get out of Houston: big enough to be a "city" but not overwhelming like Ewe-stun or Dallas. The Hill Country was a great slice of Texas.
When the wife and I went to Rockport/Port Aransas/Corpus area...we fell in love with Rockport. We'd never consider living in Texas unless forced to, but we came very close to buying a second home in Rockport.
If SA is intriguing to you, my $0.02 would be that Rockport or possibly the Hill Country would be good alternatives...don't think that the Valley would fit in the same slot.
