The potent storm system that impacted us Saturday night through Sunday brought some snow but the most notable feature was the cold.  In fact, it was record setting.

The National Weather Service reports that the high temperature for Sunday, October 14 was only 27 degrees.  This absolutely destroys the old record low maximum for the date of 36 degrees set in 1969.

Here in Thornton, we saw our high reading just a touch warmer at 28 degrees.

Monday morning will see the temperature plunge and likely bring a record setting low as well.  After that, we do expect to see a gradual warming trend through the coming weekend.
