Thanks ohio, we coloradoans should stick together, I don’t live too far from you, just up the road in Palmer Lake, but seriously NC, the weather in Colorado is just as diverse as any other state.
Ohio, for instance is an example of a diverse climatalogical region, it is generally cooler to cold with more snowfall to the north near the lakes, like in Cleveland, but closer to the ohio river, it is quite a bit warmer and snow is less common like in Cincinatti, Colorado is that kind of diverse, except more amplified because of the mountain/valley effect.
Anyways, there are many areas that depend heavily on rain and snow that falls over the mountains and foothills, because the lowlands don’t really get much precip, so winter forecasts are crucial for us, because it can mean the difference between recovery or destruction in this fragile environment.

@Sapporo1- I agree it seems as though our post just get ignored. I am in Manitou Springs Coloroda, but even when I lived in Ohio I went through the same scenerio, but I keep coming. I will talk weather for you.

@Sapporo 1, It’s colorado, how do you think winter will be like? Cold with snow, whether its a lot of snow or a little no one knows and no one can give you an accurate answer they can only speculate or make up things. Whatever they say will have changed by the time winter comes along.

“So no this isn’t the physical death of everything. Perhaps only the spiritual and cultural collapse and subsequent rebirth of human society.”

@FatherFrost, I like my hallucinogens just as much as the next man but you have lost the plot.

You know, I noticed that unless we have some historic natural disaster, nobody really ever pays any mind, nor really cares about Colorado, I am begining to feel like maybe I should quit posting here, because my questions seem to consistantly go unanswered, or nobody really ever responds to my posts either, it really kind of bumbs me out and makes me feel like that we Coloradoans are left out most of the time, and that we don’t really matter to anyone, I do sincerely appreciate those who have given me any feedback at all, it is really the reason I am still here, without you few who at least acknowledge that I exist, I wouldn’t really bother getting involved in these discussions, I love to talk about the weather and it’s impacts, but it makes it hard to want to post anything when you feel as thogh you stand alone all the time.

The whole “2012 thing” isn’t at all made up, MaineMan… Everyone’s preconceived notion of what this year is and what is happening is what’s made up though. For whatever reason, in recent year’s the media did a little digging, found out the mayan calendar ended on the day of 12/21/12 and decided to hype it up all over the planet as the end.

This is not what the Maya predicted though. What they wrote about 2012, was much different. In fact, the only thing ending, is this current paradigm, this current age in human history. That is what happens on the day of the Winter Solstice, according to them.

The Maya were not the only ones to predict this great “Shift of Ages,” however. The Egyptians, the Greeks, the Sumerians, the Chinese, the ancient Hindi people of modern India, and Native Americans in both north and south America all spoke of the years leading up to 2012, the year of 2012, and the years following 2012 as times of great change, a time when humanity would be at a crossroads. They spoke of a time when we are facing great darkness, but also the immense potential to create great light, as well.

So no this isn’t the physical death of everything. Perhaps only the spiritual and cultural collapse and subsequent rebirth of human society.

Because the whole “2012″ thing is just something that somebody made up. Even the Mayans, who supposedly originated the idea, did not actually believe this. A major catastrophe is no more likely this year than it is any other year.

You know, if they say that this solar maximum is going to be so horrific, yet it’s supposed to be the weakest in several decades, then why have a lot of these forecasted cataclysmic events not happened in a year with a much stronger solar max? I mean, these solar maximums happen, approximately every 11 years or so. So what about 2001-02? Or 1990-91? Or 1979-80, 1968-69, 1957-58, 1946-47, or 1935-36, etc. now granted there was a lot of drought and fires in 2002, but no “cataclysmic” events to speak of. Also granted, Mount Saint Helens blew its top in 1980, severe tornadoes in 1958, and severe heat in the summers of 1947 and 1936. So I mean yeah, there were some weather related events that took place on some of those years, but nothing cataclysmic. Now, however, there was some event where telegraph wires and what-not were catching fire, due to a solar storm. And after tracing back every 11 years, starting with 2012-2013, I noticed that 1858-1859 would have in fact been a solar maximum. A strong one at that. But, anyways, based on all this, I do not believe, for one second, that 2012-13 is going to be a catastrophic year. Major weather events, such as a huge hurricane, large scale tornado outbreak, moderate volcanic eruption, or even a pretty hefty earthquake would not be out of the question though. And I could be proven wrong, so not to sound like a no-it-all. But I still do stand by my prediction of an exceptionally cold and snowy winter of 2012-2013.

And by the way lol, I am inclined to agree, since when does a medical doctor have even the slightest clue about how to predict weather patterns and anomalies?
That isn’t even anywhere close to their field of study, how repugnant is all I can say

You know, I couldn’t help but noticed that ohiobiss79′s question got completely ignored, does someone want to indulge and enlighten their question?

The “meds” are calling for no winter? Since when do doctors issue weather forecasts?

I’m not really making any winter predictions yet… at this point I’d call for autumn to start right around the average time (September) and am enjoying summer since it has actually been quite pleasant thus far. No complaints.
