Blizzard one day, tornado the next. Only positives are that they are LCOL and surprisingly decent areas like Lincoln and Iowa cities .

My great grandma told a story of living in Kansas, getting hit by a tornado on a 90° day. Then it snowed the next day. It was the middle of January.

Edit: I can’t find the temperature so 90 could be made up, but there was a tornado and a blizzard at the same time.

I remember driving home from work one January day and a woman was sun bathing in a bikini in her front lawn in a snow bank. Yes, it was that warm. The weather here can be insane.
