The weather this winter has been extremly odd. We have swung from temperatures in the arctic cold to VERY warm for this time of year. At first I thought it might only be here in the north western part of Colorado, but upon further observation I realized that the same thing is happening in Denver and on the Front Range as well.
Temperatures for the past week have been in the low 70′s for Denver and surrounding areas and up as high as 76 in Pueblo. While at the same time the temperatures here have been cold. We have been getting down to an average of 17 below zero and up to as much as 9 degrees during the day. This was happening at the same time that Denver and company were in the 70′s. That seems odd to me.
Earlier this year we were unseasonably warm here while Denver had the Arctic blast with wind chills down to 30 below zero. At this time we unseasonably warm getting into the low 50′s. This is the first year I remember such an odd temperature difference between the two sides of the mountains and such extremes.
I am moved to write about this since yesterday the temperature was -19 when we left for school at 7:30 and this morning at 7:30 it’s raining at 32 degrees. The weather patterns are certainly changing, there is no doubt about that.
