It’s like if you take a little bit of every shitty weather you can have, and mix it together in one place
Winner. There are many years where there are only like 6 nice weekends in KC.

I'm a huge fan of the 4 seasons. But I will say that KC gets a little more of the shitty weather than what I get 3 hours or so southwest of there.

What's your definition of nice? Just out of curiosity. Not saying you're wrong, just curious. Mine is about 75-80 and sunny with little to no wind.

Yes, my own, I'd even broaden it to 65 to 85 (depending on humidity). If we get that goldilocks zone, there's often something else, wind, storms, humidity, etc. attached to it. In bad years, you can skip the two good seasons here and just go hot-to-cold, cold-to-hot.

I also absolutely hate the cold. Grew up doing farm work, roofing, concrete, etc., and never got used to the cold, and now am a complete office snowflake and my head turns into a faucet if it gets under 60 degrees.

KC and St Louis are easily the worst weather cities in the US.

I’m glad I don’t still have to deal with it, but I do miss the novelty of summers in Lawrence, when you can be sitting on a mass st bar patio at 1 in the morning and it’s still so muggy your shirt sticks to your back

Send some of it our way. We’re at about 30% of normal rainfall.

What’s DFW like around New Years, anyway?

I imagine it’s nice and quiet, considering most of the metro is in CO right now.

Every person I have met from Dallas was, “You’ve got one. I’ve got three.”

Check that. They were from Highland Park.

I think Gulf Coast is worse. And I do like having winters.

Best weather in the US?

Probably Denver? Very sunny, no severe weather, four seasons, can do most anything?

Southern California offers the same, but at an insane premium.

I guess Denver is good. I guess.

But I also remember the one winter I lived in Denver being among the coldest I can recall anywhere. Snow piles that remained in the shadows til like May.

But yeah, the thing it has going for it is the elevation. Even if it’s hot, it’s a dry heat, without humidity to make it sticky. And even if it’s cold, 40 degrees in the sunshine is still borderline t shirt weather. And it’s sunny a lot.

A friend went to college in LA and quickly became a bitch.

He called me one day as I was walking to campus in Lawrence. He was whining, damn dude it got so cold here I had to put on a winter coat, it’s like 50 degrees, jeez!

I couldn’t help but reply, motherfucker it’s 8 degrees here.

I get to shovel here in a couple hours, after the snow stops and before it freezes hard overnight.

Looks like we've got 5-6 inches where I live.
