Seemed like 70 degrees today under bright sun - with 70 mph winds for several hours . . .
previous springs there would be massive water rushing down creeks,
but won't happen this year as much - snow at higher elevations still packed, but alot at a mile high is already melted and was sent downstream for ya'all.
Winter storm Quinn . . . A 146 mph wind gust was recorded at the top of Squaw Valley, according to AP, about the time of a skiiers disappearance., and the storm dumped another three feet of snow. His body was found by ski patrol this past weekend.
Some day I'll utilize linux to make short tube or gif (much easier) of about 8 seconds of a busy intersection near Coors Field this morning -
heavy stuff bending in wind. Big windmills/wind turbines are pumping toady - more clean electricity for all.
Gusts are enormous over a base of constitent 30 - 50 mph winds. This isn't "tornado-y" - it is constant wind with sunny blue skies . . .
Then, wind gust blasts !
