A couple of the wildest graphs I recall making. It's been #warm... at Fort Collins the warmest climatological winter by nearly 4°F! #cowx 🌡️

The gutter is full, but my heart is heavy with the question: What if it were all snow?

An active evening along and north of the Cheyenne Ridge. A friendly reminder that spring is just around the corner! We were monitoring a storm earlier today that produced some accumulating hail (more like graupel?) on I-80 west of Rawlins. Could see it on the WYDOT cameras.

Just saw my first bolt of lightning of the year. Last year I didn't see my first bolt until April 27th.
