It has been a pretty mild afternoon.
Alas, colder air moves in sinking temps well below freezing. Do not be surprised if you see some drizzle & flurries overnight, especially across far northern and central MO. Gusty winds bring sub-zero wind chills Sun AM & again after sunset.

Well, we made it through what is the climatological coldest period in KC (Jan 10-26) and we were above normal! The normal high is 38 during that stretch and we averaged 44.3 degrees. The average low is 19 and we averaged 28.2 degrees. In total we were 7.6 degrees above normal!

Climatologically, the coldest period for KC is Jan 10th-26th with a average high of 38 and low of 19. If it is ok, we have decided not to do that this year and go with above normal temps through this period. Does that work for everyone??
