we've had such crazy weather--too cold spring, then leaped into summer with a heat wave and drought. Then early Sept. we got about 8" of rain in 3 days, and again in early Oct we got 9-12" in 2 days and flooding all over the county (and one death) and now we are having wonderful fall weather. Our local weatherman grew up in SoCal and loves the fact that in KC, no one can really predict the weather more than a day out!
