Purpose
*EstesParkWeather.net is part of the ExceptionalWeather Network. Visit ExceptionalWeather.com to learn more about my other Weather Stations, and equipment.
This website was primarly created as a public service for residents of Estes Park, Colorado and Vicinity.
This weather station is privately owned and operated, is not affiliated with the Town of Estes Park, Colorado.
and should not be considered an officially recognized station for weather.
Personal Devotion
The gifts given to me to create this website have come from Almighty God. This website was created for the Greater Glory of God (Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam !). Specifically a devotion to The Divine Child Jesus (image appearing on upper right hand corner). The patron saint of the webmaster is St. Alphonsus Liguori :
"My Jesus, Thou alone art sufficient for me. MY love, do not permit me to separate myself from Thee. When shall I be able to say, 'My God, I cannot lose thee any more?' "

History
This website previously operated as Greg's Estes Park, Colorado Weather Station. I have changed the design, & format, and how the data is displayed but the weather station and location is the same. Click here to see a screen shot of my former weather website design.
Weather Data
The data you see on EstesParkWeather.net website is primarly fed from a personal weather station at our home utilizing high quality weather instruments, as well as other data sources, including the National Weather Service to provide local, accurate, and timely weather conditions for the greater Estes Park, Colorado Area. I hope you enjoy using this website and welcome any comments, suggestions.
