She cites warmer Pacific temperatures, fewer bone chilling days, and historical peaks in 1982-83 while recounting Hutchinson’s severe snows in January 1983 and earlier El Nino-era patterns.

State pension decision delayed in Kansas study group
Topeka Kansas AP state pensioners must wait until next month to learn if a legislative study committee will recommend benefit increases. The Joint Committee on Pensions Investments and Benefits began regional hearings this week through December 11 and will meet December 12 to digest testimony and draft proposals for the 1998 Legislature. Proposals include automatic cost of living raises, a one time boost to catch up with inflation, or a annual one time supplemental payment tied to the KPERS fund performance, but a $1.4 billion unfunded liability remains a major hurdle.
