On Monday night, DIA experienced a 9-degree temperature drop in just five minutes, NWS Boulder tweeted.
If you’re sick of these frigid temps, the end is near: the Arctic cold will move out this afternoon, and today’s high in Denver is a balmy 35 degrees.
In the mountains, however, the winter weather continues: “Periods of heavy snow will be possible over the northern mountains from Wednesday through Thursday,” according to NWS Boulder. Snow has led to several mountain road closures that continue Tuesday.
