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.
When in danger,
When in doubt,
Run in circles
Scream and shout!
Ladies and Gentlemen, take my advice
Pull down your pants and slide on the ice
Sounds like someone summoned Ithaqua the Windwalker.
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.
I will have to remember that!
Somebody ship Greta Hate-Face Thunberg there so she can experience the Global Warming!
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.
I agree its horrible. Tell your friends.
We shall see what happens friend.
It was in the 70’s here in the Colorado Rockies yesterday afternoon and dropped to 12F this morning.
Cure for globull warming alarmists. Tar and feathers.
The start of the modified Julian date... coincidence? :)
How Dare You!
Temperature drops are weather. Temperature increases are climate.
Changing the calendar causes glowbull warming!
lol. And have them tell their friends
just a day before, they were way out in their prediction. only a 50 degree drop forecast!
