Temperatures in Colorado plunged 64 degrees on Thursday, the largest temperature drop the state has ever seen in October. It's also the 15th largest temperature drop over a two day period in Denver's history, according to the National Weather Service.

At the Denver airport alone, the temperature dropped 55 degrees. CNN meteorologist Taylor Ward said at 2 p.m. on Wednesday it was 79 degrees and on Thursday at 2 p.m. the temperature read 24 degrees.

The cold front moved in on Wednesday night bringing extremely gusty winds, snow, and the first freeze of the season.

Blizzard conditions are expected over a large area of the corn belt.Most corn and soybeans are still in the fields since the spring was so wet that crops were late being planted.I’m getting concerned about food shortages at this point.Another bad year in 2020 would be a crisis.

It’s a record!!!
Since Denver was founded in 1858 that spans the awesome epoch of time of 161 years.

Unless some tech-geeky fur trader brought a thermometer with him and kept meticulous records in the 1830s or ‘40s.

At my place north of Denver, I’d just finished blowing out my sprinklers yesterday at 4pm, in 79 degree weather, when the wind picked up with a vengeance. Hail and then snow were falling before I called it a night.

Reporting a temperature drop?

How Dare You!

Temperature drops are weather. Temperature increases are climate.
