NOAA's 1991-2020 median first 32°F night is October 29 at Wichita and October 23 at Topeka; winterize by October 9, two weeks ahead of the earlier date. By our car rule Wichita stays driving through October and Topeka through October, then 3 months of dry-day drives follow at Wichita. 15 Kansas listings offer indoor or climate-controlled space.
2 at Wichita (November to March) and 3 at Topeka (November to March), plus 3 and 2 months of dry-day drives. Those garaged months hold 13.9 of the 17.1 inches of snow Topeka averages a year (81%), which is the load on a cover or carport roof. At Wichita a car is driving from April to October (7 months), against 7 at Topeka.
