 Using Real Weather I have lost all snow cover on the Colorado Rockies. If I use Rex Weather I get snow covered Rockies. But I also get snow in Denver and other places there shouldn't be snow. Can anyone else confirm what I am seeing with Real Weather? I want to do some realistic flights from Denver into Aspen, Telluride, and Hayden Yampa Valley. I prefer Real Weather but I need snow. Thanks.

Checked NWS and for the past 3 days there has been no snow in Denver and temps above freezing, I have some light snow on the Rockies using real weather. But then again I use REX AccuSeason.

Thanks. I knew there shouldn't be any in Denver. I do have some snow today on the Western edge of the Colorado Rockies. But as I fly East the snow disappears and from the Central Rockies all the way East into Denver it looks like Summer. Breckenridge, Snowmass, and Aspen don't have any snow at all. This is using Real Weather. Rex Weather shows snow on the Rockies. Guess MS has it messed up again. Thanks for checking. I would try the MS forums but I never know where to post stuff. My posts are always being deleted or moved by the mods.

Yes sir I am. I always load up a flight with the real time and MS's weather. Then when I notice no snow on the mountains I turn off MS's weather and load Rex Weatherforce. I then have the proper snow on the mountains but I also have it in Denver. And it hasn't snowed in Denver in a while. I keep Rex on at that point because my flight goes back and forth over the mountains.

 Did a flight today from JAC into DEN. DEN was reporting light snow and 2 mile visibility with a temp of 28F. Started with Live Weather in JAC. Ground and mountains covered in snow. Got over the Rockies and snow disappeared. I flew purposely low so I could see the mountains since it was cloudy. Got almost to DEN and light snow coming down. But Rockies and the ground in DEN no snow. It looked like summer. After landing I switched to REX Weather and I saw light snow falling. The ground was also covered in snow. Temp was 28 degrees F. In my case the issue seems to be at Denver and over the Colorado Rockies. I experienced the same issue about a year ago only in DEN. Others reported it also at that time. It mysteriously cleared up one day. I thought about clearing the cache but not sure if that would fix it or maybe cause other issues. I do have AT&T Gigabit fiber so who knows? I guess for now I'll just stick with REX weather. I do appreciate your responses.

Did a flight yesterday from CYYC-CYYJ and there was solid snow covering the Canadian Rockies and having driven from Van BC to Alberta (home) a few weeks ago that is pretty much how it currently is.

 Deek I'll have to try that. I was talking about the Colorado Rockies. A flight last week showed snow over only the peaks of the Colorado Rockies. The ski areas were bare. Something still isn't right. Denver yesterday had partly cloudy skies. But using MS weather the skies were clear.
