>>Kansas City is in the middle of the coldest and "snowiest" winter in the nearly 6 years we have been here. Usually we have a snowfall and then it is all but gone in about three days. It has been over a week and it is just cold outside and all the snow is still here. My toes are not liking this so much!<<

What is this "snow" of which you speak? Mid 50s, wind and rain on the Oregon coast. Just like in July. :-) I have a good friend in South Portland, Maine. Now they are snowy!
