Major temp changes is possible.

The Denver area is well known nationally for its major temp changes. That's what happens when a Chinook (sp) sweeps down off the mountains and warms everything up in a matter of minutes. I've seen temps in the mid-30s only to have high temps of 90s on the same day.

I like the Nebraska weather better. Temps are more moderate, only a 20 degree swing in temps during the day.

Nooo... I would believe that temperature change in Nebraska. We've gone from 65-70 degree temps in Jan/Feb to a near blizzard the next day. It just happened this past winter. Nebraska weather is so screwy...

My bro out in Spearfish, SD works with an old dude who remembers the record temp change out there. 59 degrees in two minutes. Youch.
