DENVER (CBS4) – Sitting at a mile above sea level and in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains, Denver is known for having an extreme climate. But the most recent temperature swing ranked as one of the biggest ever observed.
According to the National Weather Service in Boulder, after a high of 69°F at 2:27 p.m. on Sunday (Feb. 18) Denver’s official low hit -3°F just over 40 hours later at 6:45 a.m. on Tuesday (Feb. 20).
Remember when it was close to 70 yesterday? Major temperature difference from Sunday. There isn't even a color contour to depict this massive change! Stay warm! #cowx pic.twitter.com/rVIN5gyjYK
