Many may know-I am a weather watcher. I have a weather station at school that posts to many weather services. Also have a website with a Twitter account. (with a Chiefs list)
Below is the Windy.com map. I centered it on KC but it can be moved to where you are located. Or go to Windy.com-there is also an app.
Very versatile and tons of possibilities. This map is fully functional for the viewer.
Some have already had severe weather-where as I am looking at 5 inches of snow for Easter.

Or put the car in the garage for you rich bastards...
My wipers don’t stay up on there own. Stupid Jeep.
Its been an ultra mild fall and early winter so far around here, so some big shitstorm was inevitable... it wasn't staying 50 and 60 all day forever, lets get it over with already

Wait. You can fire up a snowblower but not a chainsaw?
That’s some cross-site shit talk right there, son.

I’d give my left nut to live anywhere but the fucking Midwest. If I don’t make it out of Iowa by age 50, they’re going to find my frozen body in a drift.

Snow is coming down steady here in north KC. It's a winter wonderland out there right now. Kid has already asked to go out and play in the snow three times, trying to hold him off until this afternoon.

I'm here for the long haul, I hope anyway. Iowa is a different beast altogether.
I went to Iowa in the winter ONCE. It was Cedar Falls. I can't remember, I want to say for 4 days - It was buttfucking foggy every fucking day. When we rolled in, it was so foggy, I drove right by NIU and didn't realize it had changed from a field to a major university.
By the time it was over, I REALLY needed some sunshine. Sure, it's cold here, sometimes, but I get sun. And hell, if it's sunny and the wind stays out (big ask) or I can get on the south side of a building, it's straight up nice.

Except it does get quite a bit of some ice storms every now and then, at least I know in Springfield. Kansas City isn't bad by any means, just I'm tired of the cold, in general. I'm thinking more further south than Missouri, myself.

The wind at home has gotten unbearable. The trees are all gone now, felled by farmers. We live in a hill and on a good day when it’s still downhill, there’s a breeze at our place. When you add in the storms and winter, about half of our days have winds 20mph or above.
