Also, I plan to hold space and hope for the classic "swing" into snow and cold that teased coming after this. Let it be known.

There's a spread of forecasted highs at end of next week. I noticed ECMWF AI model push the higher near 90 temps than GFS. Where will bullseye land? If your apps are sharing aggressive highs.. AI is still AI, even it could happen.. so just please reference your local meteorologist.

Been hard to keep up my passion for weather this winter given our hot and dry trend.. haven't paid attention to models/forecasts. A little delight to get a CO classic "run run run" moment of rain and wind at daycare drop-off today. Thankful to be surprised again. More water (snow), please.

This has been our last week and counting new bedtime game. Parents losing; taking upwards of two hours to get down and now wakes up again. Tips and cheat codes appreciated lol. Little dude might be in the Royal “teeth-4 month discovery of self-roll over” Flush combo and we assume unbeatable lol.

This whole thread and subthread is science explained well. It’s not purely plain language, but it’s very well communicated and I, personally, have learned a lot. Thank you!!

Adding to the count the way that current “leadership” is failing the people, and on purpose, by choice 😔

Join us on Saturday, December 20, from 11:00am to 1:00pm in a visibility event.  Meet in front of NOAA on South Broadway and Rayleigh. Although we’re focusing on NCAR, this is a highly visible place to show that we demand that NCAR be saved!  Bring signs with a “SAVE NCAR” pro-science theme.  Please take an RTD bus if you can.

Heads up Colorado: there’s a visibility event planned on Saturday in front of the NOAA building in Boulder to show your support for NCAR

If “hey siri what’s the high temperature today” is “the high temperature in Lafayette is going to be 72” one more time, I’m gunna lose it… mix of emotions because the days are lovely, but I’m kind of hot and bothered.

Places that have now seen snowflakes before Denver:

❄️Nashville, TN
❄️Knoxville, TN
❄️Louisville, KY
❄️Indianapolis, IN
❄️Cincinnati, OH

All those have an average first snow more than a month later than Denver.

Weird times.
