Record-shattering cold slams Colorado; Denver hits low of minus 14
Fox 31 Denver ^ | November 13, 2014 | Jennifer Broome

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...

Hope and pray it is headed towards Ferguson the night of the grand jury release.

Really! Deep freeze might put a damper on some of that.

Just think how cold it would be without global warming!

Okay, that was cheap, but the stupidity of folks who think that by averaging one can remove non-linearity from a dynamical system, the arrogance of the same people thinking they can accurately model a non-linear dynamical system with unmodelled and unknown inputs to give long-term predictions sound enough to influence public policy, and the mendacity of calling people who understand enough mathematics to know they are doing bad science, “anti-scientific” deserves to be mocked at every turn.

It's hard mathematics.

I believe John von Neumann found it challenging enough to work on, and he was no slouch.

Once the environmental nutjobs figure out that the earth is cooling they’ll concoct a new plan to fight anthropogenic global cooling, which, by coincidence, will also grow Marxism.

“Well, it could have been minus 30, were it not for all the global warming.”

Don’t be ridiculous. Without global warming it really would have been -14.7

Aurora police on ‘puffer’ patrol, owners of unattended cars ticketed

Ain't it sweet? Can't be "enticing" the scumbags, so you gotta pay.

Me, 9800 ft in the Rockies and I'm feelin' fine. And no one cares if I leave my car (well, 4x4 truck) run all night if I want.

I don’t think we got as warm as we were supposed to today. Got very chilly early afternoon.

I don’t think so either. Was supposed to be up in the 40s i thought, but I don’t think it made it. Still, a lot better than the last few days.
