Surprising Weather

Nels wonders why after living in Colorado for years, a good late March snow the evening before trash and recycling day is still surprising. Dealing with the weather is part of living six thousand feet above sea level. What seem like random changes in the weather are probably part of larger patterns. Climatologists work in Boulder, Colorado. Meteorologists live and work throughout Colorado. Both the climatologists and the meteorologists are incapable of providing realistic predictions of Colorado weather patterns. The best these sciences can provide are warnings about the potential for precipitation.
