The <br />area is usually warm in the summer with frequent hot days. In winter, periods of very cold weather <br />are caused by arctic air moving in from the north or northwest. Milder periods occur when westerly <br />winds are warmed as they move down slope off of the mountains to the east. <br />Weather monitoring data is not available from the site. The nearest weather monitoring station is <br />at Windsor, Colorado (059147). Data is collected from the Western Regional Climate Center. The <br />table below lists the mean monthly temperature, and average total precipitation on a monthly and <br />annual basis for the period of record from July 1, 1941 to March 31, 1990. Most of the precipitation <br />occurs as rainfall during the warmer part of the year with the heaviest rainfalls in the late spring and <br />early summer. Winter snowfall is frequent but the snow cover usually melts quickly during the <br />milder periods. <br />Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Annual <br />Mean Monthly 27.2 29.5 35.8 47.1 54.6 64.5 72.5 71.4 61.0 50.8 36.2 30.0 <br />Temperature (F) <br />Average Total 0.43 0.33 1.09 1.54 2.56 2.03 1.47 1.18 1.32 0.87 0.70 0.45 13.97 <br />Precipitation (in.) <br />Bestway Concrete & Aggregates — La Poudre Amendment- La Poudre Mine — MLRB 112 Permit Application <br />Exhibit K -1 <br />
