I can't tell the number of times I felt a change in the weather that the forecast didn't call for and was able to get out of harms way. I am constantly amazed that our weathermen/meteorologists are able to be paid so well and have such job security with how faulty their forecasts are.Loishttp://lifeinaminimalistfarmhouse.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685979597473858413.post-50099787233673681882015-07-02T13:12:02.827-06:002015-07-02T13:12:02.827-06:00It's been a remarkable spring to be sure.

We usually get about 15 inches of rain per year - and if you look at the official totals we're not that far off... but that's because the official rain totals are now taken at the airport, which is actually at least 25 miles east of the city. The measurements in the city are near 30 inches, and it's only June! Our wet season - the July monsoons, are yet to come!EcoCatLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704811319510740473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685979597473858413.post-67417621030900486702015-06-25T12:24:21.262-06:002015-06-25T12:24:21.262-06:00I think I have "Acu-weather-CatMan" to t...I think I have "Acu-weather-CatMan" to thank for the fact that we stayed mostly dry.

Actually, most of our big storms tend to hit in the late afternoon, so I don't think people have had as much trouble getting to work as they have getting home!

I mean, Colorado weather is always gonna be a bit unpredictable - it sorta goes with the geography of sitting right at the base of a big mountain range. But this year it's just crazy! I've NEVER seen this much water in Denver. Of course, the official rain measurements are taken out at DIA - which is a good 25 miles east of the city, so the numbers in the record books are pretty un-remarkable.<br /><br />Anyhow, usually the weather is one of Colorado's big selling points. We have over 300 days of sunshine per year, mild temperatures in the winter and general all around beautifulness. So I'm really hoping this isn't the "new normal!"EcoCatLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704811319510740473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685979597473858413.post-84250720860516364722015-06-25T09:13:26.168-06:002015-06-25T09:13:26.168-06:00Sheesh!
