Windy Winter
By Meteorologist Chris Tomer
2/17/2008

     50 years worth of weather records indicate that this is and has been a windy winter.  Wind speeds in Denver are averaging faster than 50-year averages taken from Stapleton and Denver International Airport.  In fact, this winter is so windy that even our extremely complex weather models are failing to include accurate wind speeds in their forecast output.

     Here are a few photos from whiteout conditions during a recent satellite live shot at Eldora Ski Area.  I clocked wind speeds at 60mph.

Hi Jashunmak -

It's a good question in an age of information overload. However, our weather department considers all Weather Warnings critical. Warnings are more important than Watches.

If you have further questions feel free to email anytime: chris.tomer@foxtv.com

Best,
Chris
