Due to the extreme microclimates that form along Colorado's front range where the Rocky Mountains create weird tempests, I've long joked that we're the preview for climate change, and now everyone else gets the shipping release.

Massive floods, fires, hailstorms, land hurricanes, tornadoes, winter and summer between dawn to dusk, rain on one side of the house while sunny on the other, wind season, sandstorms in your eyes, you see it all (well, not with sand in your eyes), sometimes in the same day, sometimes in minutes.

One day a couple of winters ago, temp dropped from 40-50F down to 6F in 20 minutes. Remote-started the car to leave a place, and the dashcam recorded visibility ..... annnd snow-covered freezing cold - it was just another weird bizarre situation. The car took a hot minute to adjust to the fact that it was much colder out than it previously thought.

Rarely seems to make the national or international news, not sure why. Maybe they don't want to scare people for what's coming.
