Nov 23 Weather
What will the weather be like that weekend in Lee’s Summit Mo 2019?
Winter temps
I work out in the cold & this part of KC has been colder than normal since late October. The prediction for "colder temps" is correct to a degree but our February is twice as cold as any December we've ever had plus more precipitation than we've had since at least 2009. My prediction is a wet, wet year....worried about planting season now.

Couldn't be more wrong
How is this a mild winter? Seems we're having the coldest temperatures ever here in the midwest. It's colder in the midwest than it is in Alaska! School has been cancelled for 6 days so far.
yikes
oof, bitter much? not much you can do about the weather, but survive it.
I think it’s been pretty mild
I think it’s been pretty mild with the exception of this polar vortex. At least here in NW Iowa. Ppl seem to forget what doesn’t help their Argument. Climate change is also starting to drastically change weather cycles... and the predictions will have to be figured out depending on them.

this is just normal winter weather for this part of the country. We have
had mild winters the last few years.
