We've all heard that about Kansas weather..."If you don't like it, just wait a minute and it will change".

There's some truth in that,  but have we ever seen change like what we've experienced in the past week?   Wichita went from a low of -17 on February 10 to a high of 78 on the 17th.

Turns out we are not alone.  A viewer JRobb passed along this note.  16 locations in Oklahoma saw a 100 degree temperature swing last week.
