Is the Katy open all year? Is it possible to ride in Dec/Jan? Is snow a problem (not concerned about the temperature)?

Dick,
Check the weather section on the site. The trail is open all year. I live in central Missouri and pretty close to the Katy. I have been on the trail in Dec/Jan in basically shirt sleeve weather, but other times, like last year, we had about a foot and a half of snow after one storm. The best thing to do is check the weather and the forecasts before you go and hope the weather guy is right.

Also remember that some of the businesses will be closed or operating on winter hours. You might want to call ahead to see who's going to be open, if you're counting on stopping in a particular small town for food or water.

Other than that, winter's a great time to enjoy the trail. You'll pretty much have it to yourself, and the scenery can be spectacular after a snowfall.
