There is a cycle to weather patterns and one of the cycle lengths is 30-35 years driven by changes in Pacific ocean currents called the Pacific Decadal Oscillation. The current weather pattern of sustained chinook winds in excess of 100 mph hasn't been seen since the early 90's and was a regular feature of Colorado's weather during the 80's. The weather pattern that produces strong chinooks and warm, clear weather over the Front Range is accompanied by simultaneous heavy snowfall in the mountains.
