Denver set a record low maximum temperature for this date.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

With bone chilling cold having settled in along the Colorado Front Range, we knew a weather record had to fall and one did.\u00a0 Denver set a record low maximum temperature for February 1.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The official high temperature as measured at Denver International Airport only climbed to a high of -1 degrees.\u00a0 This broke the previous record low maximum for this date of 2 degrees set in 1985.\u00a0 Here in Thornton we fared a bit better hitting 2.7 degrees at 1:07pm.<\/p>\n

As noted by the National Weather Service, this is the first time since January of 1997 that Denver saw a high temperature below zero degrees.\u00a0 On January 12th and 13th of the year, the high only reached to -1 degrees.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Will more records fall with this cold spell?\u00a0 It is definitely possible.\u00a0 Low temperatures overnight on Tuesday and into Monday morning are forecast to approach 18 degrees below zero.\u00a0 The record low temperature for February 2nd is -17 set way back in 1901.<\/p>\n
