Clear skies and snow cover helped push the mercury down early this morning. The result was a second record low temperature set in the past 24 hours.
As measured at Denver International Airport, the Mile High City’s official low temperature this morning was -15 degrees. This ties the record low for December 5 last set in 1972.
Thornton managed to be slightly warmer as our temperature bottomed out at -9.2 degrees right before sunrise.
Yesterday, just before midnight, Denver set a record low temperature for December 4 as well.
The bitter cold looks to remain with us for quite some time. Some warming in the coming days is expected however it may be the middle of next week before temperatures climb above freezing.
