EXAMPLES OF DROUGHTS Snow does not fall in the mountains until late January Snow does not fall in the mountains until late January It is dry in April-July, but soaking rains occur in eastern Colorado in August It is dry in April-July, but soaking rains occur in eastern Colorado in August The weather of repeats for the next five years The weather of repeats for the next five years Colorado’s mountains have 90% of average snow for the next 20 years. Colorado’s mountains have 90% of average snow for the next 20 years.

Vulnerability Assessment A vulnerability assessment of risk to climate and other environmental stress is, therefore, more appropriate as guides to Policy Makers, than trying to predict only a subset of possible future climate conditions.
