2/26- Zzzzz

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE-

Unfortunately, the weather has gone to sleep. I mean it. There, quite honestly, is nothing to talk about whatsoever until next Wednesday when a rainstorm will move in with heavy precipitation likely. Until then, 30s today, mid-30s tomorrow, 50s the rest of the way with bright sunshine and a few scattered cumulus clouds in the meantime.

Today in weather history- February 26, 1987- A crushing snowstorm paralyzes the Rocky Mountains, dropping 43" of snow on Fairplay, CO, and a monthly record 14" at Colorado Springs. Although everyone thinks of the Rocky Mountains as a place with extreme snow, it is usually drawn out over a season as intense snowstorms are rather difficult to get there as the moisture is usually depleted by the Cascade Mountain Range in California...the mountaintops of which are among the snowiest places in the world.
