Welcome to #CheckIn for Friday, March 8
Hi there. This is Lee and I'll be your host through next Wednesday (3/13 . If you're #NewHere; welcome!
Today's Topic Is the Weather
I have an interesting perspective on the weather, as I've lived or worked all across the US, each region for a prolonged period or frequent visits. With the exception of perhaps CA and FL, everybody thinks their city/state/region has the most variable weather. In my experience, however, Colorado takes the cake. On the whole, CO's weather is mild, but when it comes to variability, there's no comparison.
In the winter, people will see the Broncos play on TV, and there's a snowstorm with snow drifts measured in feet, not inches. Friends or family will call to commiserate about the weather, and they will be incredulous that the next day it's in the high 50's and there is not a snowflake to be found. Also, signs on mountain roads warn you to climb to safety in case of flash flood. Few heed the warning when it's 70 and the sun is brighter than you've ever seen, on either coast, the midwest, or the south. Then, boom, flash flood.
What are your weather stories?
