The average low temperature in Fayetteville, North Carolina never drops below the freezing mark. Not so for Kansas City, which usually is hit by a Polar Vortex each winter, sending temperatures into the teens or colder.

Working in Kansas City has been an eye-opening experience for Chiefs defensive back Joshua Williams, who is entering his second season in the NFL.

Williams was born and raised in Fayetteville and shared his thoughts about KC weather this week.

“KC will give you all 4 seasons in one week,” Williams wrote on Twitter as he shared a sentiment anyone from Kansas City will know is true.

Some Chiefs fans responded to Williams’ weather-related message, mostly to agree with the assessment. A few offered advice to the young Chiefs defensive back.

This is a bit of what those Chiefs fans were saying in response to Williams.
