Brrr! Following our snowstorm, the cold has lingered and this morning plunged into record-setting territory.

Denver’s official low temperature this morning, as measured at DIA, dropped to 8 degrees. This easily bests the previous record low for October 27 of 11 degrees set in 1925.

Thornton actually came out on the colder end of things this morning with a low of 5 degrees recorded at 5:37am.

Today’s cold weather record comes on the tail of a record low maximum set yesterday that also was the coldest high temperature ever recorded in October.
