(567 posts)...about every five years. Now it seems that it's happening a few times per winter? Not claiming to be a weatherman.

(11,443 posts)When we have above average nice weather during the Fall and Winter months it is a sign that shitty weather is coming in the next day or so. I've seen it go from 65-70 degrees to 5" of snow blowing sideways in about 4-hours time.

(2,225 posts)Shes been sending me pics of the huge smoke plumes from the fires burning in RMNP. Its crazy. She said there is some light snow predicted for the higher elevations on Tuesday and they were hoping it might help quell the fires. As for central Ohio weve had cooler temps the past couple of days- very pleasant- and summer heat is coming back this week then cool weather again. The weather rollercoaster.

(13,881 posts)The greatest temperature change in 12 hours happened on December 14, 1924. The temperature at Fairfield, Montana, dropped from 63 degrees Fahrenheit to -21 degrees at midnight. This 84-degree change in 12 hours stands as the greatest 12-hour temperature change recorded in the United States.

(14,856 posts)The 90+ temps are supposed to reach my area in a few days, but not that kind of cold later! Wow.
Thought I was going to freeze to death on a Colorado mountain years ago after it was blistering hot during the day, though. By the next morning, all of my water was frozen. The clear skies that night had allowed the heat to easily escape into space! The Milky Way was easy to see, however!

(3,414 posts)The only weather extreme I remember was the snowstorm at the end of March. It snowed heavily for about 36 hours, and I woke up on Thursday to find my car and yard buried in 4+ feet of snow. Only the main thoroughfares were plowed and the streets in my subdivision were impassable. Never seen so much snow at one time in all my life! We all got a 4 day weekend that week!

(2,971 posts)of Denver) at the time. They had over six feet of snow, and the road to their house was impassable for ten days. They were without electricity the whole time, but had a fireplace with plenty of wood and a gas stove, so they were fine. Their landline worked without power, so I was able to keep in contact with them.
