Bitter cold air settled into Colorado’s high country after a weekend snowstorm hit the state. By Monday morning most locations above 8,000 were at or below zero.

...

The National Weather Service in Boulder says the temperature fell to -48°F at Antero Reservoir in Park County. A trooper with the Colorado State Patrol in Alamosa tweeted a picture of his car thermometer reading -28°F. Other low temperatures include…

-26°F (6 miles NW of Kremmling)

Another in a long list of why I don’t live there.

——Fraser used to commonly be the cold spot in the nation—wonder if the official thermometer got moved?

[IronJack]

Fraser used to commonly be the cold spot in the nation I recall that usually being International Falls, MN, or, as we like to call it, Frostbit Balls.

And on occasion Chama New Mexico or Caribou Maine or Cut Bank Montana

I guess they still do that on network tv but I don’t watch it

I drive thru Chama a fair amount since northern New Mexico is a favorite area of ours and we had family there 1890-1980 and I always tell me kids that factoid

They’ll likely never forget

Yet another in a long line of proofs of Global Warming.
As Al Gore, smartest human who ever existed and winner of the Nobel Prize in Climatology explained it, as the globe warms up, it cools down (or something).

Compared to that, I am practically in the tropics.

Your freezer is +32 degrees.....

wonder if the official thermometer got moved? ...

The official weather station closed and the local chamber of commerce was happy.

Hey, it was 11 degrees in Longmont this morning. Toasty.

I am beginning to wonder if there is an instrumentation issue there. Antero is reporting readings below places that are normally colder than there.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

The freezing (or sublimation) point of carbon dioxide Is -109.2 F. If it got just a little bit colder, the gaseous CO₂ in the air would turn to solid “dry ice.” Then we could shovel it up and dispose of it in a containment unit.

What about the Twinkie?
