Weather in Kansas can be interesting to say the least. When it gets cold, it gets real cold! And when it gets hot, it gets real hot! For example, want to know what the record high temperature is for Kansas? On July 18, 1936, in Fredonia, Kansas, which I can see from here through my window, it hit 121 degrees F! Yep! And on July 24th of the same year, it did it again in Alton, Kansas. As you can tell, it was a very hot summer. At the other end of the spectrum, on February 13, 1905, the temperature reached -40 degrees F. in Lebanon, Kansas. Brrrrrr....

   Of course aside from temperatures, Kansas is well known for some of it's severe weather, namely tornadoes. Here are some photos taken by a nephew of mine, while on patrol. Thank you Tom!
