From your details it suggests that you are from Denver ie pretty centrally placed in a continental land mass where fronts are less common that in NW Europe, albeit your weather can be ferocious, just less affected by surface frontal systems than a temperate maritime environment.

Here in Europe they have removed the surface frontal displays from the SIGWX charts which imho removes a very valuable source of surface information and as such is a BAD MOVE.

Here our frontal weather does not routinely produce your massive frontal lifting and tornados or widespread CB's to FL450, but the winds can easily vary from 270/15 to 330/30 and back to 210/15 in a couple of hours with frontal passages with the expected affects to flights.


So, no we don't have then any more and yes I think we should.
