About
Purpose
This site is meant to be informative and useful for both the people of Nederland Colorado and visitors alike. Please note that it is operated as a hobby and should not be a single source of weather information for Nederland. Due to connectivity and other issues, sometimes the site's weather data is not up to date!

Myself
My name is Scott and I've lived in Nederland since 1999. I have a beautiful family and we enjoy living in the mountains - extreme weather and all. By day I work as a software developer.
History
The web site, Nedweather.com, was originally maintained by Madge and Bondy of Nederland, Colorado. When they moved away from Nederland in 2005, they generously passed on the site to me and I began maintaining the site.
