- tradersam 10y agoYou've obviously never been.
- jldugger 10y agoIt's not, compared to the pacific northwest. I recall taking photos on my first visit to an Oregon university because they _obviously_ were watering their lawn in the winter to keep it that green instead of letting it go dormant.
- soundwave106 10y agoA large sliver of the PNW is temperate rainforest, so yes. When you have areas that get 100-170 inches of rain a year (e.g. Olympic peninsula area), it's probably going to be very green at that point.
- enraged_camel 10y agoI live in Austin. I do know what I'm discussing so if I were you I'd refrain from making assumptions like that in the future.
- usefulcat 10y agoOther than during the spring, most of TX is not particularly green (to put it charitably), even by the coast where it rains more. Source: have lived there for a long time
- btilly 10y agoTexas is a large state, with many different climates. The Eastern part of it is classified as humid subtropical. It is indeed very green. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_of_Texas#Piney_Woods https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_of_Texas#Piney_Woods for verification and https://www.pinterest.com/CollyBlackSheep/east-texas-piney-woods/ https://www.pinterest.com/CollyBlackSheep/east-texas-piney-w... for plenty of acceptably green pictures.
