KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - The first major snowstorm of the season blew across the Plains and Midwest on Thursday, grounding hundreds of flights, closing schools, glazing highways and threatening to dump up to a foot of snow on communities that had basked in balmy weather only days earlier...Coming on the heels of near-record high temperatures, it rolled through Kansas on Wednesday, coating tree limbs and power lines with half an inch of ice.

They aren't kidding. I ran to the store Wednesday in a tshirt and jeans and a sweatshirt jacket, and was very comfortable in the sunny, unseasonably warm weather. An hour later I returned to my car in pouring rain and bitter cold, to find it covered it in ice. By the time I got my purchases loaded up and myself out of the rain, I was seriously painfully cold. Real pain. Real cold.
I guess I'd forgotten what Missouri was like. Pictures
