DENVER (CBS4) – Bitter cold air settled into Colorado’s high country after a weekend snowstorm hit the state. By Monday morning most locations above 8,000 were at or below zero.
The National Weather Service in Boulder says the temperature fell to -48°F at Antero Reservoir in Park County.
See the article for temperature recordings in various locations around the state.
A general down-slope wind flow will be in place for Tuesday, with fairly mild temperatures. Breezy for most of the foothills, but especially gusty around Alma, Fairplay and Lake George, where we could get some gusts over 30 mph. The wind will pick up a little early New Year's Day as a cold front approaches Colorado. The front should arrive by midday, with scattered snow showers developing. The front will cause scattered snow showers mainly Wednesday afternoon into Thursday. Temperatures will be colder Thursday with high pressure moving back in, so the weather pattern looks fair for the rest of the week.

The lowest temp I've experienced was negative 55.....Fairbanks. Alaska. You do NOT run in
that temp range, It will freeze your lungs,include wind chill into that equation and it is deadly to
NOT be prepared.
