Wow, that's some craptacular convention coincidence.
I CERTAINLY won't mention the weather conditions here, because that would be plain rude (not that some aren't enjoying Denver's weather).
Denver is pretty good at a couple deep freezes per winter. In fact, there was a pretty cold one 10 years ago this month.
Y'know, back then we didn't HAVE the Stormchaser Conference! We froze in our cars with dead batteries and begged winter to be over. That's the way it was and we LIKED it!
