We finished this past week with record warm temperatures. Denver recorded a high of 82 degrees at Denver International Airport Friday, breaking the old record of 80 degrees set in 2011 for the date. The normal high low for the this time of year is 62 and 34 -- numbers we’ve been nowhere near for some time now.
We’ll finally say goodbye to our well above average temperatures to start the coming week. As discussed in last week’s State of the Atmosphere, this cold front won’t be anything to write home about -- but we’ll certainly feel the punch after temperatures running so far above average for so long. It’s also possible that we see our first below freezing temperatures of the season by early Tuesday morning.
This system will carry some moisture with it, but not a ton. The next best chance at snow could come during the first week of November -- and even that could be a stretch, though it does look generally colder.
So...it has been snowing in Breck all day today...and at this time, 3:51 pm it is coming down like it does in December & January...it could get real ugly on the roads tonight 'cuz they are wet, wet, wet...and if it freezes...well, UGLY!!!
There were three vehicles off the road within less than a mile of the top of Hoosier this morning...be careful...time to put on the snows!!
