Thanks Dave... Yeah they think its cold when its below 70, lol.l I remember the first year I was here, it was bright & sunny but about 60-65*. People were in coats, gloves & hats. I had quite a few asked me if I was cold since I was in a t-shirt. I just laughed & told them that I was from the St Louis area & it wasn't cold. I did tell them that when it had been zero or below for a few weeks & then have the temp jump up to 40's that there'd be a good chance that they'd see bunch of us outside in t-shirts, shorts & flip flops . They looked at me like I had 3 eyes . Had to tell them that 40* was a heat wave to us after it being zero for a while .

LOL Joe, some friends used to "snow bird" in Corpus Christi, TX for a month and left KC with temps near zero, arrived in Corpus and the weather had followed them. Woke to a very unusual 27F on Sunday, drove to church and the minister thanked everyone for coming out in the terribly bitter winter cold!
The past week or more we've cheated up into the mid 60's and it feels like summer again! Indian Summer is great, even in December!
