... Record low maximum temperature set in Denver for August 16th...
The high temperature at Denver International Airport today was 58 degrees.
This 58 degree reading will replace the previous low maximum temperature record for August 16th which was 63 degrees set 118 years ago in 1890.

It will be a wonderful testament to global warming to see all the worshipers at Invesco @ Mile High freezing and bundled up during the messiah’s sermon on the 50 yard line.
As soon as the sun goes down and if there’s a breeze, Invesco can get pretty cold.
When I lived in Boulder in the late 80’s there was snow in Labor Day week.
I’d love it if they’d get a dusting in Denver for the convention.
I live at 8500 ft elevation west of Denver. The low temperature here Saturday was 38F. I have a wacky liberal neighbor that also calls cold weather or abnormal snowfall “global warming”. Last year, when the snow plows were having a hard time keeping up with the snowfall, she lamented “oh, I just don’t know what we will do if this global warming gets worse”.
Don’t forget, AGW stands for “Al Gore Warming.”
That would be beautiful to see... especially High Priest Al Gore shivering in the stands.

I tried to look around that site to find a reference. I was not living in Denver a the time, but one of the suburbs. This makes a difference, as downtown Denver and the airport are lower than the surrounding area. Unfortunately, I can’t find links to the suburbs.
