One More Frigid Night

Single Digit Lows Once Again ACross Region

POSTED: 7:01 am MST February 6, 2010
UPDATED: 2:53 pm MST February 9, 2010

It was a cold start Tuesday morning with lows in the single digits. Denver actually bottomed out below zero with a reading of -1.

A dense, cold air mass remained parked over Colorado Tuesday with temperatures struggling to reach 30 degrees across the Front Range. The clear skies will keep Denver frigid for one more night before lows return to the teens and 20s for the remainder of the week.

Across the eastern plains, some patchy freezing fog is possible overnight with lows ranging from -5 to 10 above. The valley areas will see the coldest temperatures Tuesday night.

There isn't much in the way of dynamic weather systems in the forecast this week, which means no major storms for at least the next five days. By Wednesday, temperatures will be back into the 40s.

Here is a look at some of the most recent snowfall totals from Sunday and Monday's storm:

  • 10.0 inches -- Ouray
  • 7.0 inches -- Genessee
  • 5.0 inches -- Roxborough
  • 4.7 inches -- Golden
  • 3.8 inches -- Watkins, Elizabeth, Nederland
  • 3.1 inches -- Wheat Ridge, Lakewood, Arvada
  • 2.2 inches -- City Park, 7News
  • 1.8 inches -- Stapleton
  • The winter season has been a pretty dry one for Denver. Since December 1st, the Mile High City has only picked up 13.9" of snow.

    Entering into the second week of February, the lack of significant moisture continues to be the big concern, however February of 2009 remains the least-snowiest of all-time for the Mile High City, with just a trace of snow recorded.

    It may be dry this year, but some heavy February snows have hit the city in the past. On February 28, 1931 a major storm dumped 12 inches of snow on Denver. In 1909 and 1912, Denver was socked by strong winter storms that dumped over a foot of snow, and in 1953 a major blizzard belted the city with nearly a foot of snow. Other past February weather highlights include February 1960 when the Denver barometer bottomed-out at 28.83 inches of mercury. That's the lowest air pressure ever recorded in Denver.
