Weather has always held my interest. Probably because the
weather in Colorado changes so quickly, and is so varied, due to the Rocky
Mountains taking up half the state. Being an avid outdoorsman, I wanted to
watch the weather patterns, so that I would have an idea of what to prepare
for. These pages were designed for the
Colorado Paddlers' Resource [CPR], so that folks could get a very quick
overview of what the weather was doing around the state. Colorado is very
large, and it is possible for it to be 80oF in Denver, and snowing in the
mountains.
Here are the webpages I have put together, so you can watch the weather
"happen before your eyes." The overviews, the
combination, and our family weather pages use small files from the "Weather Underground." Click any of the
links for the weather in your area, and there is a link near the bottom of
the page for "Get Your Weather Sticker" and it will give you
the code to use in your own webpages. The "stickers" look like the one
below. Any of those webpages will load in less than 2 minutes on a
28.8Kb Modem. The radar ones will take much longer on a dial up connection,
but still less than 5 minutes. The Fort Lupton page takes about the same. If
you have a broadband connection, they'll load almost as fast as you click
on them!! The Fort Lupton Weather Magnet below is from
"The Weather Channel." Their
website will also generate free "magnets" for you to put on your own website.
