Spring Snow

We came north a wee bit too soon!

Our first week in Kansas City has been a harsh reminder of how wild the weather can be here. Especially in the Spring. Upon our arrival, we were greeted by sunshine and warmth. On one of our first days here the high temperature was 83 degrees...in March! Fast forward a few short days and things are different. Very different.

Mother Nature dumped about 8 inches of snow in the last 24 hours. The temperature struggled to make it above the freezing point today. The overnight low is supposed to dip into the mid-20s tonight. The wind chills are supposed to be in the teens. This Arctic forecast is the same for the next three nights.

Piles of heavy snow are not good for slide toppers. So, we pulled both of our big ol' slides in just after the white stuff started yesterday afternoon. The moose is mighty cozy! The snow has stopped, but our slides are still buttoned up. With a whole bunch of snow on the roof, it has started to blow and slide off the sides. That being the case, we're keeping the path to the ground clear. The coziness will probably continue for  at least another night.

Meanwhile, we're kicking back. Paul made a pot of most masterful chili. And, we're enjoying our annual overdose of college basketball. We haven't even attempted to get out and about today. There will be plenty of time to do that tomorrow.

Spring will return to our old hometown soon. The forecast for later this week is calling for highs in the upper 50s and nights above freezing. That'll be better. Much better.

We can't wait.
