In 1921, Silver Lake, Colorado, received over six feet of snow in a single day. In 2013, the Front Range picked up nearly a year’s worth of rain in eight days, causing $2 billion in damage and cutting off Estes Park. Then Boulder County was the side of the Marshall Fire in 2021, where winds over 100 mph pushed a brush fire into suburban neighborhoods, and this past winter suffered from a "snow drought." Hear about the wacky weather in the Rocky Mountains.
