The microclimatology of mountain ranges is so neat. Denver receives warm winds from its southeast, then those get trapped in the foothills of the Rockies between Denver and Boulder/Golden. The mountains ricochet that air back around and it becomes trapped. In effect Denver tends to become a static hurricane where it's either the eye or the ring. If everyone else in the region gets a big storm it looks like this. If the storms are dodging all of the other cities, they're funneled into Denver and they get a high chance of tornado activity. Today Denver was the eye of the hurricane.
Now here's the real fucker. In the top right of the screen is Greeley, a major cattle town where the JBS strike has been occurring. Its slaughterhouse and feedlots have such a godawful smell that it gets trapped in the recirculating air and spreads through the region, The Greeley Stench. When the DCVZ conditions are starting to occur and that north-south wind disperses the Greeley Stench, you can tell it's about to snow: https://www.cpr.org/2018/12/17/weve-all-heard-smells-like-greeley-its-gonna-snow-but-do-you-know-why-that-is/
We have a cow shit weather forecasting machine powered by a hurricane.
what if we turned Greeley into a big bakery town so the snow warning was a delightful bakery smell instead of cow shit
