Cool, but not a record-setter

Sunday (8/30) was an interesting August day (compared to what you might expect). Clouds, fog, showers, thunderstorms, hail and breezy winds all combined to make it feel more like October.

Colorado Springs ended up with a high of 66. For Pueblo, the final number was 75..both far below the "averages" for the day.

I had me wondering if maybe we had another record low maximum in the bag, but a quick check of the record books showed that we've been colder on this date.

Colorado Springs only made it to 56 on this day in 1967, and Pueblo had a high of 63 that same year.

While I have the word-processor fired up, here's a quick update on how we're doing for water to this point in the year....
Through this afternoon, we have 13.03" since January 1. That's 1.26" below average.
Pueblo reports 11.92"...2.03" ABOVE average.

Interesting year overall, don't you think?
