Real temp, got down to -13.8 here at 1300' in the NW hills. Coldest I have seen in 7 yrs.
Here in Durango CO where I live about 3 miles outside the city limits, -13.8 at 6000' feet isn't real cold. Then again, when the sun comes out at 6000' on the same day, the temp will rise 50 degrees.
BTW, I grew up in CT and know about the blizzards that can occur out there, but it's pretty much a commonality here. Since January 1 Molas Pass (just a little north of me) has gotten 115" of snow.
Right now at 12:15 MST the sun is just hitting my house, tucked in a little valley. Should hit about 55 degrees in a little while.
