To go along with our Mother’s Day snow, we also have seen some cold – record-setting cold in fact.

Denver’s official low temperature, as measured at Denver International Airport, dropped to 27 degrees this morning.  That ties the record low for today’s date set previously in 1946.

Here in Thornton we were just a little bit warmer with a low of 28 degrees this morning.

In terms of snowfall, Denver reported 4.0 inches at DIA as of 7:00am this morning.  Here in Thornton we received 5.1 inches.

Looking ahead, the record low for May 11 is 28 degrees (also in 1946).  With clearing skies later today and into tonight, it wouldn’t be surprising to see that mark tied or broken tomorrow AM.
