This is not a common site in our city, but january of 1940 was a cold month in Fort Worth. The National Weather Service reports that there was an out-of-the-ordinary stretch of 27 days of freezing weather in Dallas/Fort Worth that month, tying with January of 1978 for the most freezing days in a single month. Marion Herring, seemingly unaffected by the cold temperatures, is shown here ice skating on Lake Worth. Kids, please do not try this at home. It's a safe bet that nobody will be ice skating on Lake Worth this January.
