Thats OK. We've basically had winter for two weeks this season. I don't think a week or two in the 40s is that bad.

For him it means he wore out the girlfriend. Do you think @cmjh10 actually does physical work like that? .

Severe thunderstorm rolling through KC just west and north of downtown. Warned for 3" hail. Going to be a lot of folks at the Big 12 Tournament with hail damaged vehicles. That side of KC is getting pounded.

Very lucky it didn't drop a tornado... or track about 5-10 miles southeast and put the biggest hail over downtown.

This is wild.

We’re in TMobile and have been comparing weather alerts and radar screens. So glad our car is in a parking garage this week.

Wow I am impressed, I have puddles with water in them. All the wet spots on the sidewalk were touching today.
