Intro: The Centennial State is known for its diverse landscapes. From the snow-covered, Rocky Mountain peaks towering above the High Plains, to the river canyons and deserts below, Colorado has much to offer for any outdoor enthusiast.  But this state also offers up a variety of weather, and 2019 proved to be one for the record books! Today we welcome Russ Schumacher, State Climatologist and Director of the Colorado Climate Center, and we’re going to revisit some of those extreme events.  We’ll also get a preview of Russ’s latest research endeavors at Colorado State University, and we’ll end the episode with an interesting fact about him that may have you asking all kinds of questions.
