I’ve only lived here two years so not clear what is normal but this seems nuts ?

Where is that? Insane! I’ve seen 40+ degree shifts in a day, but never 90 to snow

68-degree swing in 48 hours, not bad not bad.

We’re getting a chance of snow a little south of you here in NM too. Not as crazy of a temp swing for us... going 87 to 32. It’s a little early but that’s mountain life. September/October and April/May in NM and CO could be 20 or 100 degrees depending on which way the wind decides to blow.

Welcome to Colorado! It’s somewhat normal to have a swing like that a couple of times per year, although this one is a bit more extreme.

It’s a bit off-season but not out of the question. I feel like we usually get the 80s to 20s with snow fluctuations in the spring.

But yeah. Snow accumulations this time of year are unusual.

We have the same forecast up here in Calgary. Hot as Hades today, tomorrow night possible snow

76-degree by my count (high S unday to low Tuesday) , though potentially across as much as 72 hours.

91 to 36? That’s nuts.

yeah, I was impressed. I’m in Loveland, CO but the entire Front Range has this forecast.

I’m not even in the mountains. Next to them in Loveland. yeah, starting to learn about that spring/fall extremes.

Coming from Milwaukee, there’s so many different things to know about the climate and dramatic changes in the mountains.

No, for Phoenix, that is not normal. Nor for San Francisco. But for Mars? Perhaps.

Where do you live? (You may have told me this before; apologies if so.)

Yeah, I used a temperature forecast map to figure out where that cold front was coming from for Denver, and of course it was barreling through Canada.

It’s been a very cool summer here. Only been able to drop the windshield once. If I wanted this summer weather I’d move to Canada.

ah, @just jeep says, of course, it’s Canadians who are responsible.

Thanks for letting me know who to blame.

Loveland, CO between Ft Collins and Boulder . Colorado Oppos are letting me know while this is unusual , spring/fall weather here is quite variable.

Haven’t paid attention. Is 2020 an El Nino year ?

VincentMalamute-Kim > ttyymmnn

I like the 99 Sun high to 23 Wed low ( 78 deg drop over 66hrs! ) for maximum internet points .

Since the Canadians can’t cross the border to shop at Costco this year they are sending their shit weather.

Do you know the film The Horse Whisperer ? That was filmed in Colorado. I drove through Pueblo once and I hear there’s some famous canyon in Colorado. And there’s “Mile High” some’m some’m and Aspen. There; I think that’s everything I know about Colorado except that a really friendly medical-type oppo of my acquaintance lives there.

Im guessing the temp is greatly affected by the jet stream. When it moves north, you’re getting hot air from the south... and when it moves south, you’re getting air from the North.

And that isn’t El Niño, that’s global warming that’s causing bigger shifts in the polar vortex

Heard of the movie. I’ve pretty much stuck between Boulder and Fort Collins and the adjacent mountains. I haven’t even been to Denver other than driving through on the freeways. I think I know about as much about the rest of Colorado as you do.

aw shucks! (kicking a stone while looking down with hands in pockets ) Free free to drop by if you’re ever visiting Rocky Mountain National Park. I live just down the canyon.

09/05/2020 at 22:58

oh yeah, now I’m remembering those curves of the jet stream due to El Nino and/or La Nina or something or other. Those Arctic thingies that drop Canadian air made living in Milwaukee miserable.

VincentMalamute-Kim > Manwich - now Keto-Friendly
09/05/2020 at 23:00

yup, now I remember those polar vortices. Made Milwaukee winters miserable. So far, I like Colorado climate better. G lobal warming may change that opinion.

VincentMalamute-Kim > MM54

yah, I was impressed. 99 to 23 degrees over 66 hours.

MM54 > VincentMalamute-Kim
09/05/2020 at 23:40

I mean, a 40 degree drop in a 24 hour span isn’t unheard of around here , but that continuing on for a 76 degree drop in one go is outrageous.

Even if as a relative perspective you are not in the mountains, it’s still higher than the highest point of many countries like UK for example.

E levation itself plays a great role, plus the fact that there are high mountains next to the city and no sea/ocean or even big lake around also plays on the climate .

There is no sales tax in Montana and certain items cost much less. Alcohol for example, and TV’s etc...
