A non-O' event that might be of interest is the US Cyclocross Champs. It is being held in Overland Park this coming weekend. Details are available at the race web page:

Here is the forecast for today's cyclocross race:

...winter weather advisory today... ...wind chill warning tonight...

Today...snow likely. An inch or less of snow accumulation. Areas of blowing snow. Turning much colder. Windy. Temperatures falling to 10 to 15 by late afternoon. Northwest wind 25 to 40 mph. Wind chills falling to 20 to 30 below. Chance of snow 60 percent.

I hope those cyclists are as tough as orienteers. I'm planning to try to watch at least some of the racing (after running some O' technique training at Shawnee Mission Park). Look for my report here on the OK forum.
