Better late than never? Unseasonably warm and dry conditions have been the hallmark of October so far. Today, we finally got a taste of the temperatures we normally expect to see.

Just before sunrise, both Thornton and Denver saw temperatures drop to 32 degrees marking the first freeze of the season. This comes more than 2 1/2 weeks after the average date of the first freeze in Denver of October 7th.

With that reading the book, we do continue to wait for our first snow of the season. That may come early to mid-week next week.
