You guys don't know weird weather until you come to Colorado. In the same day it can go from 5 degrees in the morning, to 70 around 12, and back to 5 with an inch of snow on the ground by 6:00.
You can get 80-90 degree days in the middle of January, or 5 inches of snow in mid-June.
On top of it all (and this is a fact you never stop hearing if you come visit) Denver gets more sunny days than Miami or any of those cities in California. What they don't mention is that on many of those days, it is 2 degrees outside.
Continuing the list of strange Colorado weather:
- Thundersnow - Lighting + snowstorm
- Raining/snowing when the sun is out
- Blizzards (although I will grant you that they aren't as bad here as they are in other places)
- Occasional tornados
- golf-ball sized hail
- 1 foot of snow can melt in under 5 hours (seriously, all of it will be gone except a couple of shady places)
On the plus side, we alwasy have an outdoor activity for any weather. Although a lot of us do them when most people don't consider normal times. You should try going out for a run when there is an inch of snow on the ground, with a windchill of -10, and another inch of snow falling every hour. It's actually surprisingly fun.
Not that any of you probably care about any of that.
