In Iowa, if it's going to be 65 degrees today, you can count on it being pretty cool in the morning and warming up gradually throughout the day, hitting it's hottest point around 3 or 4 in the afternoon and then slowly getting cooler throughout the evening.
In Santa Maria, if it's going to be 70 degrees today (and it is, because it always is), you can count on it being slightly cool in the morning and hitting 70 about 11am and staying 70 until about midnight (it's kind of disgusting, really).
In Denver our little five-day thing this morning said it's going to be 65 and snowy. Yeah. Those things don't go together. But in Denver when cold fronts move through, they're serious about it. So on any given day if a high is 65 that could mean that it's pretty warm out right now in the morning and it'll be 65 by about 9, and then the cold front hits and it's 30 degrees by noon with snow. OR, it could mean it's about 20 degrees right now and the snow is moving in, but then around 2 this afternoon the sun will come out and it will go from 30 degrees to 65 degrees in about 45 minutes. So, in order to really find out the situation you have to check out the details of the forecast. And it frustrates how you dress and which coat you wear too.
That's all.
And then it turns out that it was mostly warm all day except for a bit of wind, and NO snow or rain at all. Welcome to Denver.
