Typhoon in Western Pacific contributes to bitter cold temperatures along the Front Range
Had it not been for a typhoon in the western Pacific, our cold air this week might not have been as intense. In fact, Denver saw something similar about 5 years ago.
For example, let’s go back to November of 2014: Early that month Super Typhoon Nuri weakened off the coast of Japan and was absorbed into the Jet stream, colliding with a separate storm overhead. The result was a large ripple-effect in the jet stream, and from Nov. 10 to 11, Denver went from a high of 64 to a high of 16. Overnight lows of 13 and 14 below zero broke records. The cold snap lasted three days. Temperatures did not return to average for a week.
Similarly, last week, Typhoon Bualoi turned away from Japan and impacted the jet stream. The storm was not as large and the ripple effect not as big, but it still helped the waves of our jet stream to amplify, allowing cold, Canadian air to plunge into Colorado.
So, while this doesn’t happen that often, it is not unprecedented.
Almost all of Crested Butte was open in early December 96. That was fucking phenomenal.Quote:

No problem. Seven years removed from CO and I’m confident there isn’t a situation that Eldora isn’t able to royally fuck up.Quote:

But then again, read above.
