Just stay out of the wind and KS aint too bad.

I found the love of my wife there and brought her to Texas my in-laws hate me but I'm too arrogant of a Texan to care.


Worst blizzard I've ever seen was Mid March in Central Kansas

To: Rightly Biased
It was around 1987 and I was heading to Dodge City. Just outside of Pratt, the highway patrol was stopping all traffic. I had to spend the night in a motel in Pratt.

I was sort of irritated as I had a 4wd pickup and the roads looked fine. The next day when they let us through, I saw 18 wheelers with just a corner sticking out of the snow. Plenty of drifts were probably 15 feet deep.

When I got home, a front end loader had just cleared a path to my house. The snow was nearly to the roof but with a three foot area clear for some reason.

For a Florida native it was impressive. A week later I got caught again in an identical one.
