Denver dropped to its coldest temperatures in more than eight months on Tuesday night, sustaining the hopes of winter-loving Coloradans for a snowy Thanksgiving weekend.
The temperature at Denver International Airport fell to 18 degrees just before 10 p.m. on Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service’s Boulder office.
The last time DIA thermometers dropped that low was 265 days earlier, when the temperature fell to 17 degrees on March 5.
Metro Denver residents are still waiting for the first snow of the season, with this year’s first snowfall likely to be the second-latest on record.
Denver’s latest first snowfall was on Dec. 10, 2021, and the city already surpassed the No. 3 latest snowfall of Nov. 21, 1934, last week.
