I probably will, once I process the impact.<br /><br />In the mean time, here are some links to excellent scientific write-ups.<br />http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/goes/blog/archives/13876<br /><br />http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/comment.html?entrynum=2525<br /><br />As always, Dr Masters rounded up some excellent links as well. Read NCAR's Bob Hensen.<br />http://www2.ucar.edu/atmosnews/opinion/10250/inside-colorado-deluge<br /><br />Dr Rood took a time-out from discussing the Arctic Oscillation to talk about the Boulder floods.<br />http://www.wunderground.com/blog/RickyRood/comment.html?entrynum=274<br /><br />He made the comparison to Pakistan, which was my first thought, too.<br /><br />Both types of floods are caused by a change in monsoonal flow brought on by a change in the arctic oscillation (circumpolar jet-stream fluctuations), AO. The change in the AO is due to melting of the polar ice caps, global climate change.<br /><br />Both the CO front range and eastern Pakistan have clay soils, which do not absorb heavy rains rapidly. The result is the same, only CO is wealthier and will be able to rebuild faster.<br /><br />The question is, will you rebuilt as it was, or move out of the way?<br /><br />My husband and I are mountain bikers and back country skiers. We don't even live in Boulder any more, but we're in mourning.<br /><br />Most of our friends suffered only minor damage, and are muddling through. They are all safe.<br /><br />badmomgoodmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11569728075698885020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15350975.post-80907621031241480142013-09-17T15:16:32.235-07:002013-09-17T15:16:32.235-07:00I am wondering if you have a weather related post ...I am wondering if you have a weather related post coming up about Boulder.
