Weather Rant

Here is the typical summer weather forcast for Breckenridge. There might as well be no forecast as the forecasters have no idea what will happen. 30% chance of thunderstorms every day means that some days it will be clear and beautiful all day, some days the clouds will get threatening before noon, but nothing will happen and some days there will be thunderstorms, maybe around noon, maybe at 5 in the afternoon. You really can't tell what will happen until 11 or noon the day of. It is frustrating trying to plan outdoor activities with this type of weather. Basically you just have to get up really early to avoid it. It does make it so you can't really plan to do anything up high in the afternoon which greatly limits your options. This is one aspect of Colorado which I do not like at all. In California, the mountain weather seems to be much more predictable.
