Kansas City has received ZERO snow in December...

[Neecy]

The last time this happened?

1886.

Run, Al, run!

[hlthe2b]

1. I do believe Denver is sending some your way...

as we speak? Unless Kansas somehow sucks all the moisture out of this latest megastorm?

[Neecy]

2. it's been in the 50's this week...

And the Denver storm has been in the form of rain.

[proud2BlibKansan]

18. That's way far west of here

and that storm is swinging north several hundred miles before it could reach here. Kansas is a BIG state. We don't have the same weather in KC as they do in western KS.

[hlthe2b]

24. 11 hours if you drive the speed limit-- I grew up there

and while I appreciate the changes that have come with global warming, I can certainly remember many years of heavy snow in KC-MO and areas north...

[proud2BlibKansan]

32. My dad grew up in Goodland

and my grandma lived in Colby when I was young. So I spent a lot of time in western KS as a kid.

And yes, I remember a lot of heavy snows here in KC years ago. But we still only rarely had a white Christmas. Snows didn't hit us hard until after the new year.

3. What about rain? It's rained a bit in St Louis

We got some snow and ice the frist weekend in December but none since then. Ir rained last night.

[cosmik debris]

4. I wonder if anyone complained about global warming in 1886?n/t

[Stephanie]

5. It's the first time since 1891 that there's been no snow in Central Park in December.

AL 08!

6. Kansas City normally doesn't get a lot of snow....

...however they do get a lot of ice. On the other hand, I'm stuck in western Kansas waiting for the roads to open so I can make my way to Denver.

14. Where in western KS?

19. We get more snow than ice in KC

but a white Christmas is rare here.

[globalvillage]

7. Pittsburgh has had 23 days above average this month

13 of those have been more than 10 degrees above average.

Nine of the next 10 days will be in the 50s.

It's just weird.

[doc03]

26. Also heard the other day the area hasn't had any snow

through December only 5 times in the last 115 years.

9. I have gotten

snow in Wichita, and it is snowing right now.

[karlrschneider]

10. They got a bunch of snow 2 weeks ago. My neighbor was stuck there

for 3 days.
:eyes:

[Neecy]

12. in KC?

We haven't gotten any snow this month - and they mentioned the 1886 factoid on the news this morning. We've gotten a little rain, but it hasn't been cold enough for snow.

[karlrschneider]

25. Independence. Not sure what the date was, we got 10 inches from the same storm

here east of Tulsa. I'm very sure about this.
It might have been 3 weeks ago.

[proud2BlibKansan]

20. That was more than 2 weeks ago

It was Nov 30. The snow 2 weeks ago was in St Louis.

[Philosoraptor]

11. On the first day of winter I saw robins on the lawn.

Freaked me out.

[proud2BlibKansan]

21. My magnolia tree is budding

[bperci108]

13. I drove through KC east to west on I- 70 yesterday heading home...

It was unseasonably warm, nay positively balmy for Dec. 30th, but I hit the front at Solomon (12 miles east of Salina).

The temp. dropped from 59 to 42 in 6 miles.

We do need the moisture, but I'm glad that we aren't getting what the folks in Garden City and Goodland are getting.... :wow:

[proud2BlibKansan]

22. Where are you in Kansas?

[bperci108]

27. Right smack-dab in the middle: McPherson County.

We've talked in the past I think, but it's been quite awhile.

I post erratically when I'm home off the road.

:hi:

You're up in the KC area, right?

[proud2BlibKansan]

30. Yes and I have a good friend in Marion

So I know right where you are. It sure is prettier there than here.

[knitter4democracy]

15. We live in Michigan. Hubby golfed yesterday.

Our gardening zone went up one, and we had a rainy Christmas. We had a bit of snow earlier this fall in October, but we haven't had any real stuff since. We're thinking of moving north.

[seabeyond]

16. denver is getting it and it is coming down to panhandle of texas

this is our third snow this year

[spanone]

28. He IS a diligent little corporate whore, isn't he?

Best pResident Big Oil's money could buy... :dunce:


Impeach.

Now.

[proud2BlibKansan]

23. We rarely have much snow in December

I can only remember a few white Christmases in my lifetime. But it is unusual to have no snow at all in December.

29. Syracuse NY here, one of the snow capitals of US

Here is an article from 2003 http://www.usatoday.com/weather/resources/askjack/2003-10-01-snowiest-cities_x.htm We are number 4 of the snowiest cities. We have only had a dusting of snow twice this "winter" season. My poor roses are putting out bud leaves.

I hope we don't get our 115 inches of snow all at once.

31. I don't think we've had any in Ann Arbor either

it's really weird. I took a job in the midwest because I like the seasons, but it's been more like Seattle here this year.

[Scout1071]

33. I'm in KC and I just got back from walking my dog in a 2 t-shirts.

A long sleeved under a short sleeve. Hat was required too, but I never would have thought I would be walking the dog in t-shirts in December.

And I haven't been able to wear many sweaters at all because it's been getting into the mid-upper 50's most of December.

[Scout1071]

38. Since I opened my big mouth in the comment above, the temp has dropped

by at least 10 degrees, maybe more, and the rain drizzle has turned to snow drizzle.

[Blue_In_AK]

35. Anchorage got a ton of snow in December

and November was the second coldest on record. I wish we could send some of this your way, but actually I kind of like it here. :)

[WinkyDink]

36. No snow in eastern PA. yet.

[WinkyDink]

37. (sorry...duplicate)

[seriousstan]

39. Was there global warming in 1886 also?
