When I first moved to Kansas, the temperature that next winter dropped to 10 above then down to -11 and stayed that way for some three weeks.
I led recruits on marches in colder weather in Ft. Riley Kansas in 1959-60 than Kansas has had in the past four weeks.
Kansas, by the way, is, in 2009-10, +4 degrees over the mean temps of 1959-60
