meanwhile they are trying to harvest wheat in snowstorms in the Dakotas
And we've got floods here in Kansas.
Unrelated to the hurricane.

I have to buy a new roof every three years because of hail. And I cant have a garden anymore, it dries up and shrivels. Like my lawn. The rain that used to come every three days, it takes THREE WEEKS to get a mere tiny spittle. And when we get rain it's torrential flood. With hail the size of a quarter or larger. This is a new phenomena. Weather quirks? Weather is quirky alright.It doesn't explain this.
Guess you never actually looked at the climate of your state.

Colorado is one of the most hail-prone states in the U.S.
Hail occurs more frequently in the lee of the Rockies than anywhere else in North America.
Hail is more variable (from place to place and year to year) than almost any other climatic event.
Destructive hail occurs most frequently on the western Great Plains.
Strong winds accompanying hail greatly increase the damage potential.
The highest frequency of damaging hail appears to occur near the border of Wyoming, Nebraska, and Colorado.
The Colorado hail season is April 15 to September 15.
According to the Denver Post...
Hailstorms aren't more common in Colorado than before, but they are getting costlier as the state grows
Neither the frequency of hail storms nor the size of the hail is unusual in denver.,..more damage is being seen because there are more people and more stuff to damage...
and as to drought...take a look at the history of your state...drought isn't an unusual condition in colorado.
If you depend on your flawed memory of how things use to be..and only look back as far as you can remember, you will be wrong every time....especially if your memory is biased by your political leanings.
