This is for you Tulsa guys.I live in Wichita, and it seems like the weather has been much better in the last 15 years or so. Tulsa is not too far South, and I wonder if the same is true there, too.
It seems like in the 70's and 80's we got a lot more snow. It still snows, but not nearly as much. (Or, so it seems.) Also, it got to 5 below regularly and occasionally hit 20 below, but now does a "touch and go" (aircraft practice landing) to zero maybe once a year. Rarely dips below 10.
So is the Summer hotter? No, I think it is better. I remember when it got to 115; it regularly got to 108 or 109. Now, it rarely goes over 100. Maybe gets to 105 for a day or two.
It just seems better. All year long.
