Winter in Kansas
It's winter in KANSAS
And the gentle breezes blow,
70 miles per hour at 52 below!
Oh, how I love KANSAS
When the snow's up to your butt;
You take a breath of winter air
And your nose is frozen shut.
Yes, the weather here is wonderful,
You may think I'm a fool.
I could never leave KANSAS
Cause I'm frozen to the stool.

Very appropriate considering our current weather. Hope you dont mind, but I copied and posted on my Facebook.

Re: Winter in Kansas
Why is all this remakable? I don't care that it snowed in TX nor that it's cold in KS. It's winter. These conditons are to be expected in this season.

So, you tell me. Why is it remarkable?

Re: Winter in Kansas
I am in northwest Arkansas, and on the mountain where I live, we have 10 to 12 inches of new snow, on top of the six that was lingering, and new drifts knee deep, and it's still comming down.
I could of made it into work, but with more comming down, I was a little worried about getting back up the mountain tonight, and I still got to go feed cattle and chop ice. I guess I will just stay around the farm today.
This globle warming is a bunch of BS.

Re: Winter in Kansas
Man! I cleaned the snow off of my Jimmy's hood this morning and warmed it up, before finally deciding not to go to work today, and I just looked outside and it's snowed another 6 inches on that hood, again. I think we have close to 16 inches of new snow, here on the mountain where I live, and drifts deeper then that. It's a real light powdery snow today, which might be a good thing, instead of a heavy wet snow.

Re: Winter in Kansas
I've been outside in -50 degree conditions in Alaska. But I've NEVER felt as miserably cold as rabbit hunting outside Arkansas City at 0 degrees and the wind howling in at around 30 mph.

Re: Winter in Kansas
Great post.
My story about Kansas where I grew up. I think it is funny, and it is true. When I was about 16 I was hunting pheasant near Liberal, Kansas with my Dad, older brother, and a friend of my Dad. It was so cold and windy that I actually stepped on a pheasant in a small clump of grass. The pheasant would not fly before getting stepped on, and when it squawked, I was startled and stepped off it to see what I had stepped on. In the snow and prairie grass it was as well hidden as any Green Beret could have hidden an antipersonnel mine. That pheasant rocketed up and I jumped back. I didn't even get off a shot. My dad and his friend Bruce were laughing so hard that they couldn't shoot either. It was about 30 mile per hour wind and it was around 15 degrees if I recall correctly.

Gotta love pheasant hunting in a blustery Kansas winter day.

Re: Winter in Kansas
That snow carving is pretty darn creative. Nice job.
