Bad weather doesn't matter much in Kansas anyway, the only necessary outside time is the time between your car in the parking lot and the building you're going into

Yes. This period should be its own special month of suckitude. It's like purgatory.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

That's a good point..In Chicago bad weather is something most people have to actually confront and walk around in.  I remember when I was staying at your old old place, I'd wake up, see it was a -17 wind chill outside, and be crushed knowing that I had to walk half a mile to the train.  Chicago winters are for the birds, man.  Also, the sun sets at what feels like 3:30 pm - which starts to become VERY depressing.

The bad weather in Kansas only sucks because you can't do the great things that you can do when it's hot out.

Do you judge the kansas month against other kansas months?

Or weigh the kansas month against how the same month would be somewhere else?

Dlew needs to move to Tucson or some other hell on earth
hard to EMAW properly in Tucson. 

people who whine about the heat are downgrades.  everything you can do in the fall you can do in the summer.  can't vice versa that truism.  sorry (not).

Dlew I love your zeal but you often seem bewildered when people dislike the blazing heat of summer. Do you perhaps have poor circulation or a medical condition that makes you less sensitive to the oppressive heat of Midwestern summers?

I went w/the latter because otherwise it just comes down to if you especially love/hate hot or cold.  The latter is more WAR.

Also, as a fellow Kansan ex-pat, I enjoy the big-city Chicagoans looking down their nose at the little friends they left behind. :thumbs:

I mean I love all the summer stuff. Baseball and cookouts and boats and all of it. However the average daily discomfort for me on a blazing hot day makes me just plain miserable.

August 2013-2014-2015-2016 (rally mantis!) and even 2017 were more fun than normal because the Royals were good. August 2018 looks like a forecast of boringville heatsburg USA. Population CF3

It's great. Our best months are unquestionably June-Sept though... It can suck for a couple days in July/August if it hits the 90's, but generally that four month stretch is glorious

Disagree. I'll take the heat walk anyday. Winter isn't horrible if it's just cold bit mix in wind and any precip....the worst.
