DENVER — Denver shattered two low temperature records in a matter of hours when the mercury plummeted as skies cleared from the recent storm.
The temperature reached minus 13 degrees just before midnight, breaking the record of minus 4 degrees set on Nov. 12, 1882. And just before 3 a.m. Thursday, the temperature reached minus 14 degrees, breaking the previous record low of minus-3 set on Nov. 13, 1916.
The National Weather Service says Thursday’s mark ties for the second-coldest temperature at any point in November in recorded Denver history.
An NWS observer reported a temperature of minus 24 degrees in Elba, which is about 15 miles south of Akron in Washington County.
A wind chill advisory is in effect until 9 a.m., with wind chills running minus 15 to minus 35 degrees. Several schools are closed or on delayed openings. Roads are icy in some spots but with the snow out of the area, the morning commute should not be as bad as Wednesday’s.
There will be clear skies with some areas of patchy fog but clouds will roll in this afternoon as a storm system hits the mountains with heavy snow. There is a slight chance of a snow shower across the Front Range in the afternoon and evening hours.
The temperature should rise into the teens, which would mark the third consecutive day the high temperature was below 20 degrees, the first time that would happen in recorded Denver history. Temperatures will drop back to near zero overnight before rising into the 30s on Friday.
Winter storm warnings are in effect for the Western Slope mountains until Saturday with up to 10 inches possible by Saturday afternoon.
Snow returns to the Front Range on Saturday with 1 to 2 inches of snow expected. Temperatures will be in...

It was a tad chilly this morning. Took 5 min for the car to warm up.
The local forecast in my area is for 3-4 inches of global warming this weekend.

You are asking the only person in the state of Colorado that doesn’t watch football...lol. :) I’ll try to find out.
Here in the equally high-altitude, though more desert-like, city of Albuquerque, NM, we had a low of 18 with wind-chill of 9 when I woke up this morning.
It’s GoreBull warming, I tell ya!!
That made me laugh. I’m going to use that when if it snows in northern AZ this weekend.
Here in southern AZ, I was out and about yesterday and in 89 degree weather, women were donning their knee high boots. It as if were were trying to manifest cold weather through our footwear, so desperate are we to wear fall clothing. Well, a girl can dream.
Low of 23 in Central Indiana this morning, wind chill of 12. High today is 32 with snow flurries. And this is not just a one or two day cold snap. The 10 day forecast does not have a high temp over 38 degrees, and we have lows in the teens. These are consistent with mid-January temps.
At this time of year, the average high is 53, the average low is 37.
Warm globally, cool locally! LOL!
lol...
My kids and I were talking about Phoenix last night on the way home from my mom's. Just couldn't stand the 130 summers. :) This time of year...delightful.
