The micro effects of the storm were kind of missed by NWS and AccuWeather. No models I know of had the rain/snow (more correctly, non-accumulating snow/snow) line accurately forecasted. So it rained most of the day in Ft. Collins (< 5000'), snowed but didn't accumulate in Denver (5280), and snowed and accumulated all day long where I live (5900'). Also there were breaks in the precipitation depending where you lived. So the picture is tongue-in-cheek, but also kind of accurate.<br /><br />I think UA made a huge mistake in cancelling all flights at KDEN. I don't know if they rely on NWS or AccuWeather, but there was no sensible reason for them to take that action for an April snowstorm at lower altitude.<br /><br />Have a sense of humor!Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08331066509646364037noreply@blogger.com
