The Fifth Winter This Year

Kansas has unique weather patterns.  Having grown up in Massachusetts, lived in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, California and now Kansas; Kansas has the wildest swings in weather.

Look at the geography of Kansas.  It is sandwiched between the jet streams from Texas and Canada with a "shotgun" of weather from Colorado.  I experienced my first thunder-snow on a weekend before Thanksgiving in Kansas.  There was a lightening strike to the tree in front of the apartment that split in two and blocked the front doorway.



This year's winter season, 2012-2013, has delivered five winters with five spring thaws and this one in February was the craziest.

Still crazy ...

81 degrees on Friday, 26 degrees on Saturday and today, sleet and rain. What a sloppy, chilly mess.

Is number six on the way?

The temperature went from 83-degrees on Friday and all of the snow is melted, to 21-degrees on Saturday. Monday had flurries (that did not stick, just made things wet and messy), but the forecast is for a two-inch, accumulating, snow storm by the end of the week.

We ended up with seven winters (depending how you count) and now it is chill-your-bones cold.
