What is winter in Kansas like?

The coldest month of the year, during which you can usually expect to see the most snow, is the month of January. Winter in Kansas tends to span from the beginning of November until the end of February; luckily for Kansans, this state also experiences all four seasons, so it doesn’t last terribly long – especially when spring comes next!
