00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:04.480
<v Speaker 1>Dave Frasier, Hi, Dave, how's your day? Good?

2
00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:08.359
<v Speaker 2>Good snow afternoon to you. Love seeing this, big smiles

3
00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:11.679
<v Speaker 2>on my face and yeah, storm doing what we thought

4
00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:13.800
<v Speaker 2>it would do, and glad to see it.

5
00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:16.120
<v Speaker 1>Well, how much longer are we going to get this?

6
00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:17.480
<v Speaker 1>Are we going to be? Is it going to be

7
00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:20.920
<v Speaker 1>snowing in the five o'clock traffic? Yeah?

8
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:24.239
<v Speaker 2>I think so, especially from Denver I seventy to the south.

9
00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:26.920
<v Speaker 2>But I think what you're seeing, if you've noticed the

10
00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:30.320
<v Speaker 2>transition of the intensity of the snow from early this

11
00:00:30.399 --> 00:00:33.280
<v Speaker 2>morning to now, it's a very light, more faint snow

12
00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:36.920
<v Speaker 2>with you know, we'll get some additional light accumulation. So

13
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:39.320
<v Speaker 2>if you've gone out and shoveled and say, the last

14
00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:42.039
<v Speaker 2>couple of hours, you're probably going to get another coating.

15
00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:45.000
<v Speaker 2>I can see southern metro areas kind of where you

16
00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:47.960
<v Speaker 2>are in the bunker and parts of Douglas County maybe

17
00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:50.039
<v Speaker 2>getting another inch or a little more out of this.

18
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:53.640
<v Speaker 2>But we're already seeing drier air punching in the wind

19
00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:56.600
<v Speaker 2>has gone to the north instead of northeast. Northeast is

20
00:00:56.600 --> 00:00:59.640
<v Speaker 2>our classic upslope. That's what this storm was always predicted

21
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:02.320
<v Speaker 2>to be, and it performed just right now. We're getting

22
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:05.120
<v Speaker 2>a northerly wind that's starting to punch in dryer air,

23
00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:07.840
<v Speaker 2>and so we'll see snow ending from north to south.

24
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:11.239
<v Speaker 2>But the travel advisories for Metro Denver, the winter weather

25
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:15.480
<v Speaker 2>advisories don't expire till six, So anybody listening, maybe that's

26
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:18.200
<v Speaker 2>thinking of running out or the evening drive, watch out

27
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:22.120
<v Speaker 2>for some slick spots, bridges, overpasses. My understanding, and I

28
00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:24.079
<v Speaker 2>was not up at the crack of dawn, is that

29
00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:28.719
<v Speaker 2>overall the main roads did well. I heard a rud

30
00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:31.079
<v Speaker 2>throw out a tip of his hat to see dot,

31
00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:33.280
<v Speaker 2>which I'm with him. Tend to be a little tough

32
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:35.959
<v Speaker 2>on them, but I think pavement temperatures may have helped

33
00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:38.959
<v Speaker 2>us in this situation. Plus, this storm didn't really bring

34
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:42.000
<v Speaker 2>a crash of Arctic air. Temperatures have been right around,

35
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:44.359
<v Speaker 2>you know, twenty five twenty eight degrees all day long.

36
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:47.000
<v Speaker 1>So what are we looking at for the next few

37
00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:47.959
<v Speaker 1>days this weekend?

38
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:52.879
<v Speaker 2>Then, well, so I have a small ten percent chance

39
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:56.159
<v Speaker 2>the mountains are going to get another round of robust

40
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:59.760
<v Speaker 2>snow Friday into Saturday. We're looking at another six to

41
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:04.319
<v Speaker 2>twelve interres. I'm sure they're just elated this storm and

42
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:07.680
<v Speaker 2>the next one coming because they've been craving Mother Nature's

43
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:09.719
<v Speaker 2>helping hand. So that's good news. But keep that in

44
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:11.800
<v Speaker 2>mind if you're planning on going up to the mountains

45
00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:14.080
<v Speaker 2>to ski, it may be a little bit challenging. We

46
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:16.439
<v Speaker 2>may get a stray rain or snowsholler out of that

47
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:19.039
<v Speaker 2>on Saturday. But I will tell you the reason I'm

48
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:23.800
<v Speaker 2>loving seeing this is after tonight's storm wraps up, I

49
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:26.719
<v Speaker 2>can't find anything through the fifteenth of the month. And

50
00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:29.759
<v Speaker 2>of course, you know it's December. Holidays are in sight,

51
00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:32.759
<v Speaker 2>and everybody wants to see more of this. But for

52
00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:34.280
<v Speaker 2>right now, this will have to do.

53
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:36.120
<v Speaker 1>What are our temperatures gonna do?

54
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:37.520
<v Speaker 3>I mean, are we gonna get enough of a warm

55
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:39.280
<v Speaker 3>up that this is gonna melt off pretty fast?

56
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:40.000
<v Speaker 1>Or we stuck with it?

57
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:44.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, yeah, unfortunately, Yeah, I mean December snow it

58
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:48.360
<v Speaker 2>is a little tough. Not this early in the month.

59
00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:51.560
<v Speaker 2>Christmas snow, late December snows, those tend to hang around

60
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:53.800
<v Speaker 2>a long time. You're dealing with a very low sung

61
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:56.879
<v Speaker 2>and angle. We don't have a great sun angle, but unfortunately,

62
00:02:57.199 --> 00:02:59.319
<v Speaker 2>our forecast calls for us to get back into the

63
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:02.879
<v Speaker 2>low to me in upper fifties starting next week. So

64
00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:05.479
<v Speaker 2>while it may not go away in a couple of days,

65
00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:07.400
<v Speaker 2>next week, you'll probably watch it disappear.

66
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:11.360
<v Speaker 3>I live for the upper fifties like that. If I could,

67
00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:13.840
<v Speaker 3>if I could dial up a temperature range, do you

68
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:16.080
<v Speaker 3>know what it would be? It would be like fifty

69
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:19.439
<v Speaker 3>two to sixty seven. That if I could create a

70
00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:22.960
<v Speaker 3>climate zone with fifty two to sixty seven and sunshine.

71
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:26.199
<v Speaker 3>I forgot to say that. And sunshine, Yeah, that would

72
00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:26.599
<v Speaker 3>be amazing.

73
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:30.319
<v Speaker 2>Forty five degrees at night to cool off and right

74
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:32.599
<v Speaker 2>around sixty five during the day. But as long as

75
00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:34.560
<v Speaker 2>the sun is out at our altitude, I'm with you

76
00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:35.400
<v Speaker 2>in that ballgame.

77
00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:38.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, man, I mean that's like the perfect perfect weather. Okay,

78
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:40.599
<v Speaker 3>let me see if we got I forgot to open

79
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:42.960
<v Speaker 3>up my finger. If you have weather questions, now's the

80
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:45.319
<v Speaker 3>time that you should text them. At five six six

81
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:50.120
<v Speaker 3>nine oh five six six nine oh somebody from Ohio.

82
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:52.599
<v Speaker 3>I was chatting with a friend from Ohio and they're

83
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:56.639
<v Speaker 3>already the dead Ohio sky has already set in. That's

84
00:03:56.680 --> 00:03:58.960
<v Speaker 3>what we call it in our family. And you worked

85
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:03.080
<v Speaker 3>in Ohio. So what is it about the weather patterns

86
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:07.759
<v Speaker 3>in the Midwest, the clouds just hang around versus what

87
00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:10.159
<v Speaker 3>we have here in Colorado, which is like a few

88
00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:12.400
<v Speaker 3>crappy days and then we get another gorgeous, you know,

89
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:13.039
<v Speaker 3>blue sky.

90
00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:19.120
<v Speaker 2>Mainly two things. One is elevation. Obviously at our elevation,

91
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:22.480
<v Speaker 2>the sun coming out, it's a little stronger, it's easy

92
00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:25.040
<v Speaker 2>for it to road clouds. Tomorrow morning, we're going to

93
00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:27.839
<v Speaker 2>have thick, dense fog north and east of downtown in

94
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:30.000
<v Speaker 2>the wake of this storm, but it will burn off,

95
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:32.839
<v Speaker 2>so we benefit from the higher altitude. And the other

96
00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:36.040
<v Speaker 2>thing is we were semi arid climate, so the Midwest

97
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:39.720
<v Speaker 2>you're dealing with higher humidity, higher de points, more moisture

98
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:42.360
<v Speaker 2>in play. You know, you're feeding up from the Gulf

99
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:45.079
<v Speaker 2>of Mexico, the Eastern you know, the United States is

100
00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:47.519
<v Speaker 2>feeding off the Atlantic. You got the Great Lakes, and

101
00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:50.199
<v Speaker 2>so just the higher humidity can lead to you know,

102
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:54.120
<v Speaker 2>these gray kind of ugly days, and it once they

103
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:57.000
<v Speaker 2>set in, unless there's a storm that comes along with

104
00:04:57.079 --> 00:05:00.279
<v Speaker 2>a wind event to stir that kind of low gray

105
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:02.360
<v Speaker 2>cloud deck, it just kind of hubvers. And I think

106
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:05.160
<v Speaker 2>I've told you the story here with you on KOA.

107
00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:08.720
<v Speaker 2>Many times I worked in des Moines and we hadn't

108
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:12.279
<v Speaker 2>seen the sunshine. I think it was eighty hours or

109
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:15.040
<v Speaker 2>one hundred hours or something like that. So some guy

110
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:18.040
<v Speaker 2>who owned his own company put his employees on a

111
00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:21.079
<v Speaker 2>plane and flew them up above the cloud deck just

112
00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:23.360
<v Speaker 2>so they could dasp in the sun for about an hour,

113
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:26.480
<v Speaker 2>and then landed back into Moine. That's how bad that is?

114
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:29.439
<v Speaker 1>Fantastic? Oh, I love that.

115
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:31.480
<v Speaker 2>I think it was like five It was like five

116
00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:34.319
<v Speaker 2>days without sunshine and the gloom had just set in

117
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:37.600
<v Speaker 2>and it was cold and just dreary. And so he's

118
00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:39.759
<v Speaker 2>just like Booth, We're going up above the clouds.

119
00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:42.680
<v Speaker 1>That is boss of the year right there.

120
00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:45.439
<v Speaker 3>Somebody just said this Stave, would you ask Dave how

121
00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:49.439
<v Speaker 3>many snowflakes it would take to create Frosty the Snowman. Now,

122
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:52.160
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to take this as they're asking how much

123
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:54.160
<v Speaker 3>more snow do we need before the kids can build

124
00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:57.040
<v Speaker 3>a snowman? But if you want to expound on the

125
00:05:57.079 --> 00:05:59.800
<v Speaker 3>actual amount of snow in the actual Frosty the Snowman,

126
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:01.800
<v Speaker 3>you can feel free to do that as well.

127
00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:05.480
<v Speaker 2>It takes I would say that it depends what you're

128
00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:07.399
<v Speaker 2>going for. You're going for a minuture one that you

129
00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:09.079
<v Speaker 2>build on the table on the deck or are you

130
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:11.399
<v Speaker 2>trying to go for a full size I will say

131
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:14.839
<v Speaker 2>that the top of this snow is light. This isn't

132
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:17.680
<v Speaker 2>a heavy, wet concrete dickie yet in March and April.

133
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:21.519
<v Speaker 2>But the bottom layer because pavement temperatures weren't just warm

134
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:25.439
<v Speaker 2>enough certainly the weekend cold cool temperatures so that it's stuck.

135
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:28.079
<v Speaker 2>But the bottom does have a little more moisture in it,

136
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:30.160
<v Speaker 2>so if you reach down deep into the snow, you

137
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:33.000
<v Speaker 2>can make a pretty good snowball with this stuff, all right.

138
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:36.079
<v Speaker 3>Dave Frasier, Fox thirty one's chief media Oh wait, hang

139
00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:39.920
<v Speaker 3>on Mayby. Last winter, it seemed that Weather Wednesday, Dave

140
00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:41.959
<v Speaker 3>was often on your show on the biggest snow days

141
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:44.120
<v Speaker 3>of the week. And now we get our first big

142
00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:50.079
<v Speaker 3>snowstorm on Weather Wednesday with Dave. Coincidence that from Andy Well, no,

143
00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:53.839
<v Speaker 3>everybody knows Dave actually controls the weather, so I asked

144
00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:56.040
<v Speaker 3>him to make a big weather event for Weather Wednesday.

145
00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:56.920
<v Speaker 1>It's it's simple.

146
00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:00.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I do remember last year it seems like every

147
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:02.800
<v Speaker 2>Wednesday we were in a pattern of about every three

148
00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:07.319
<v Speaker 2>to four days, and the timing was like Wednesday Saturday, Wednesday, Saturday, Wednesday, Saturday,

149
00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:10.040
<v Speaker 2>and that's when we got the storms. And this one.

150
00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:11.720
<v Speaker 2>You know, we're late, and I know you got to

151
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:13.839
<v Speaker 2>get going. You know, we didn't get our first measurable

152
00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:17.160
<v Speaker 2>snow two tenths of an inch on Saturday this past Saturday.

153
00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:21.279
<v Speaker 2>It's the only measurable snow we've had. December usually brings

154
00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:24.079
<v Speaker 2>us eight inches. We're running way behind. I think the

155
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:26.879
<v Speaker 2>airport this morning reported a little over two. By the

156
00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:29.079
<v Speaker 2>time it's done, I'm hoping they're three to four. Gets

157
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:30.759
<v Speaker 2>us halfway to where we should be for the month.

158
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:32.199
<v Speaker 2>But we got a lot of work to do when

159
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:34.959
<v Speaker 2>it comes to snow. So enjoy this one. I think

160
00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:38.240
<v Speaker 2>it played well, it cooperated. It was a good first

161
00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:40.959
<v Speaker 2>snow legs of the season. Get used to it, get ready,

162
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:43.639
<v Speaker 2>and we hopefully can find you more in the coming days,

163
00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:45.560
<v Speaker 2>especially as we get closer to Christmas.

164
00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:47.519
<v Speaker 3>All Right, Dave, you get cracked in over there at

165
00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:49.720
<v Speaker 3>Fox thirty one, That is Dave Frasier.

166
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:50.920
<v Speaker 1>All right, man, we'll talk to you soon.
