Denver, Colorado, lies in the high plains just east of the Rocky Mountains, about 3000 feet lower than our mountain property.  Cold air from Canada flows south along the Rocky Mountains, affecting Denver's winter weather.  In the summer, warm, moist air moves north from Mexico to Denver, causing summer thunderstorms.  Since the Front Range mountains tend to deflect these air masses, neither of these weather conditions consistently affects us.

Leadville, Colorado, on the other hand, is about 2000 feet higher than us and lies almost on the continental divide.  Leadville's weather is affected by air masses moving from the northwest and west.  These air masses tend to loose their moisture in the very high altitudes of the continental divide and, therefore, Leadville usually has wetter weather than ours.

Pine, Colorado, where we live, is equidistant from Denver and Leadville.  Our weather is sometimes similar to Denver but colder due to our higher altitude.  Other times, our weather is more like Leadville's but warmer and dryer.  Therefore, I included both Denver and Leadville current conditions on this page.
