Kansas City, MO 64

Post a CommentThis would be a great article to do for all the states.
Great article! It's alway important to have this information.
Super info for those who need it.
I took a few shots and they're urban so not your usual ice storm fare, less snow etc. The day ones are pretty good but I need to learn city life/night photography. That and getting ice water on the lens doesn't help LOL
Donna
I hope you share your photos or videos of the ice storm!
I agree with Candles...The Weather Channel is great for the "larger picture" and live reports, but our local channels' weather reports are usually much more accurate. Netizen and weather junkie here;)
I don't like The Weather Channel, see it's not listed, I think the locals know more about Kansas City weather. Thanks!
I like KMBC too and checking out these other KC weather sites. Kansas city weather is crazy sometimes, especially the March ice storms.
Good Kansas City weather sources! Ice and more coming his way, I hope the power doesn't go out.
LOL Kay - normally I would approximate but when it comes to weather people like numbers. I'll probably learn from someone that it is 11.32 inches :-P I know some avid weather junkies. :-)
