A year in Kansas

alt text

A year ago we moved to Kansas from Iowa for work. None of us were very excited by the move and there have been a lot of things we have not enjoyed. The kids missed snow and 3 months of regularly hitting 100F has been a bit brutal. But it hasn’t been all bad. The wife and I got to vote to shockingly preserve abortion rights and I remembered how much I enjoy the apocalyptic thunderstorms of the southern Midwest.

I'm all in favor of decent people moving to potentially indecent places to help preserve our fragile democracy, so thank you, yes you personally, for helping Kansas not become a complete hell hole. I was stunned to hear that the shift from Iowa to KS meant snow was no longer in the rotation. Having spent all my time on the West & East coasts, I just assumed all the midwest got a fair walloping of snow.

@jonson we got a couple of dustings that were gone in a day. A guy at work said he grew up ice fishing around here in the 70's but hasn't been able to go since the late 80's due to not enough ice. I am not sure any of the lakes even fully froze over this year.
