How Could The Forecast Be This Wrong Again?

Does that look like eight to fourteen inches of snow to you?  Why did I cancel the retreat?  The retreat center is located in Northern Colorado at an elevation of about 7,000 feet.  The forecast was for two to four feet of snow there.  I hope they at least received a little bit more than we have received in Cheyenne.

The frustrations of life can come from many different angles.  I waited as long as I could before making the decision to cancel.  The forecast had remained the same for days.  I wanted to be prudent and not put anyone's life in jeopardy by traveling in treacherous conditions.  I guess the bright spot is that I got the weekend off.  The downside is that I had all of the preparations completed, the ladies were all signed up and ready to go, the Benedictine sisters at the Abbey were ready for us, and it is simply disappointing for all involved after more than six months of waiting for the date to arrive.

Modern technology has made great advances.  However, weather forecasting is still not an exact science.  I am going to trust that the hand of God had other plans for this weekend.  Ladies of Northern Colorado, please know of my desire to reschedule the retreat.  I am working with your coordinator and the Abbey to line up some possible dates.  We will still:

I don't really care to shovel any more snow this season, but it would be nice to be able to rely on the accuracy of the forecast. However, I just saw the weather forecast on the evening news. Apparently, we aren't out of the woods yet. As the temperature drops I guess we are still going to get some more snow. The foothills in Colorado have been hit with up to 20 inches. I guess it was an accurate forecast for them.
