How bad is it really during the winter?
The traffic is not a big deal in winter IMHO. It is most definitely NOT like the traffic in any large metro area that I am aware of. I can't recall ever having to wait through two traffic light changes in nine years. The squares and parking lots are crowded if there is a high profile group like Rocky and the Rollers or Johnny Wild, but otherwise easy squeezy. An occasional thirty minute wait at several restaurants, but you can always find a decent choice with little to no wait. Executive golf courses are pretty packed from 9:00 to 3:00, but you can usually get a tee time for one or even two at a decent time. I play early so no problem. We are coming in August this year just to see what it is like. Not worried about the heat - it is 97 degrees with a 105 heat index today in KC.
