The Highs and Lows of living in Colorado

[Bruceter]

The highs: It was 75 degrees and sunny on Saturday.:)
The lows: It is 28 degrees with blowing snow today. :(
Nothing like a 45 degree drop in temp in one day.

It's true what they say about Colorado weather, "If you don't like the weather, just wait 15 minuets, it will change"

Well, you could try moving over here to Kansas. Biggest temperature drop I have ever seen was 105 to 45 in three hours. It snowed the next day.

I heard on Paul Harvey that all the data collection stations tracking global temperature have recorded a drop in the last year sufficient to offset all the warming over the last hundred years. North America currently has more snow cover than we have seen in fifty years. We need to stop global warming before we all freeze to death :D

Texas is also known for having
chaotic weather...

when I lived in Florida it was great
cause I remember going swimming out doors
in a non heated pool in the middle of October,

but you know, they sometimes get their hurricanes...

snow sucks...I grew up in the midwest, hated the cold, and vowed to high tail it out once I hit the age of majority...and that's exactly what I did...no more snow for me, I only see it on TV and feel so glad that I don't have to shovel it any more...sunshine and blue skies every day, all year round, ROCKS!! :D

Funny, that's exactly what we say here in Southern Alberta. It's especially crazy now in this part of the season. I don't know how to dress for work - I have a 20 minute walk - could be like a new season when I leave work.

- best wishes, Jazz.

In Texas, the same saying ends with, "...just wait a minute..." We've had some pretty large temp changes recently here in the Dallas area too. Last week there was a day of 88 high and the next day it was like 45 high. Though that doesn't happen a lot, it does happen.
Wish we could get some snow around here... but it'd be gone in an hour anyway.

I'm living with an American girl from the mid-west at the moment and she says, "at least in England you can prepare for the weather; winter's cold, summer is warm and it rains every three days... it's good to know where you stand".

I have to say, as much as we like to complain about the "bad" weather here, we feel the most comfortable in mild rain. If it reaches 28°c we all complain we're gonna melt, and if there's 0.5mm of snow the whole country comes to standstill :p

Yep ...Good Ole Colorado :rolleyes: !!! I came on shift yesterday at 4:00pm and went Off-Duty at 2:00am. Cold, Ice, Snow, Windy, Accidents Everywhere ...Just A MISERABLE SHIFT ALL THE WAY AROUND. Day before in the 70's :confused: !!! I just came on Duty ...Sun Shining, A Bit Cool (not to bad), Snow Melting .......Yep, No Place Like Home ;) .

I recall seeing fog, rain, hail, snow, sleet, and then sunlight in like a 2 hour time period. We get used to it here. I'll tell ya when the weather is good .......Colorado Has Some Awsome Scenery ;). Take Good Care All and Be Safe always.

God Bless :)

For the last week here in Ohio it has been about 15 to 20 degrees and we had about 12-14" of snow on the ground. Yesterday it was 28. Today it was 60, and all the snow is almost gone.

Some weird times we got going on...

Here in Arkansas....

March 1st: Sunny and 70, gorgeous skies.

March 2nd: Sunny and 70, gorgeous skies.

March 3rd: Thunderstorms and torrential rain, followed by several inches of snow. Of course, none of it stuck.

It is just crazy weather all over.

I am in FL and the high today is 85. It hit that yesterday also. In N Central it can drop and play winter sometime, but as far as full brutal winter seasons............NO!:D
