The temperature in Denver plummeted from the high of 64 degrees at 4:37 pm to 34 degrees by 5:53 pm. The temperatures continued to fall and dropped into the teens by early evening. The Arctic airmass remained entrenched over the region through the morning of the 14th\u2026with the high temperatures failing to reach the teens from the 11th through the 13th. This was the first time since records have been taken in Denver\u2026dating back to 1872\u2026that there were three consecutive days with the maximum temperatures remained below 20 degrees in the month of November. In addition to the frigid temperatures\u20260.1 inch of snowfall was observed on 11th at Denver International Airport\u2026which marked the first measureable snowfall for the season. An additional 2.2 inches of snowfall was measured on the 12th. Several temperature records were broken. A record low max of 16 degrees on the 11th broke the previous record of 19 set back in 1916. A record low max of 6 degrees on the 12th broke the previous record of 9 degrees\u2026also set in 1916. The record low of -13 on the 12th\u2026shattered the previous record of -4 degrees set back in 1872. Even more impressive\u2026the record low of -14 degrees on the 13th broke the previous record of -3 degrees set back in 1916. The sudden drop in temperatures on the 10th\u2026followed by several days of sub-freezing temperatures chilled trees to the core. The record drop in temperatures\u2026preceded by mild fall temperatures\u2026damaged or killed scores of trees across the Urban Corridor and Northeast Plains. At the time\u2026the trees were not finished with the hardening process that enables them to withstand winter weather. Many were instantly flash-frozen\u2026and some would not show signs of damage until spring of 2015. Of the 2.2 million trees in the city of Denver alone\u2026tens of thousands were killed from the November frost. Denver estimated a citywide loss of more than 10 million dollars.<\/p>\n<p>11-14<\/p>\n<p>In 1970\u2026heavy snowfall totaled 7.2 inches at Stapleton International Airport where northeast winds gusted to 22 mph on the 12th and 14th.\u00a0 Most of the snow\u2026 4.2 inches\u2026fell on the 12th.<\/p>\n<p>12-15<\/p>\n<p>In 1909\u2026light snowfall totaled 6.7 inches in downtown Denver over the 4 days.\u00a0 This was the first measurable snowfall of the season.\u00a0 Northeast winds were sustained to 15 mph on the 12th.<\/p>\n<p>13-14<\/p>\n<p>In 1925\u2026heavy post-frontal snowfall totaled 6.4 inches overnight in downtown Denver.\u00a0 Northwest winds were sustained to 27 mph with gusts to 29 mph on the 13th.<\/p>\n<p>In 1974\u2026northwest winds gusted to 52 mph at Stapleton International Airport\u2026warming the temperature to 60 degrees shortly after midnight on the 13th.\u00a0 A cold front cooled temperatures into the 20\u2019s by late morning and produced snowfall of 3.7 inches.\u00a0 The low temperature dipped to 14 degrees on the 14th.<\/p>\n<p>In 1993\u2026an upper level low pressure system combined with a weak but moist upslope flow to produce heavy snow across metro Denver.\u00a0 Snowfall amounts averaged 6 to 8 inches with up to 16 inches in the foothills at the Eldora Ski Area.
