GlobeVille is a rather safe place when it comes to tropical and subtropical storms. This is because we are in a landlocked state thousands of miles away from any ocean and far from the equator. Denver is also protected from tornados and heavy windstorms by the Rocky Mountains. This winter I noticed that I had the most morning ice on my car ever. This is a result of the dew point reaching 100 percent, causing condensation on my windows and other surfaces. With freezing temperatures the water drops on my vehicle freeze forming frost.

above: Frost on a car's windshied can be annoying. Caused by water in the air condensating then freezing on the surface of the windshield. |
Although we are in a "WindShield" from air masses that move down the Rocky Mountains and skip over us we still experience extreme weather like Blizzards caused by gulf moisture building up and dumping after passing the mountains on its route from west to east.
Above: A blizzard in Thornton, just north of GlobeVille. Freezing temperatures, Moisture, and colliding masses of warm and cold air masses cause this phenomena so common to us in the Winter Months.
