Climate & Weather:

Kansas weather is variable and unpredictable. Winter blizzards, violent windstorms, and heavy rains are common throughout the state, and the continental climate (on occasion) produces rapid temperature extremes.

Generally here the summers are quite warm, the winters are mild, and the humidity is on the moderate side.

Early evening thunderstorms are common in summer, and tornados strike the state on a regular basis as Kansas is in America's Tornado Alley.

Kansas History:

Kansas is rich with history. In fact, Kansas' history predates statehood and even that of the United States. From the first documented traveler, over 400 years of trials, tribulations, and triumphs have helped mold Kansas into the vibrant, prosperous, rich State we know today.

In 1540, Coronado found his way to Kansas near the present-day Lindsborg, as he was exploring the “new world” in search of gold. But, what he did find was land which he viewed as “the best that I have ever seen for producing all the products of Spain”
