The front range has had temperatures ten or twenty degrees above normal and hardly andy snow fall. The have been red flag fire warnings out off and on for weeks due to low humidity and high winds, but fortunately no big fires so far. Mountains snow pack on both sides of the divide around around 60% for this time of year. I watered my lawn and trees a week or two ago just because it was so dry. I track a couple of bird migration arrivals each year that have shown up a good two or three weeks early this year and tulips are a couple of inches out of the ground. There is weather and climate and then climate extremes. I think this year is in the latter. We can still get some good snows in March and April, but the only thing in the 10 day forecast is a little rain! I think you folk near the coasts are stealing our snow. ]]> Environmental Issues Rogar https://www.simplelivingforum.net/showthread.php?21324-odd-winter-weather
