‘All-time’ temperature record falls in Colorado on sub-zero day

Another temperature record has been set in Colorado during recent days of frigid weather.

According to the National Weather Service, a temperature of -30 degrees Fahrenheit was recorded at their Limon station on January 16. This is the lowest all-time temperature that has been recorded at the station, with the previous record being -28 degrees. That prior record was first set on February 14, 2021 and tied last Monday. That being said, -30 degrees has never been recorded by the station since records began in 1948.

This new record is a bit different than other records that have fallen in recent days, as other records that have been addressed were records based on the singular date, not ‘all-time.’

Colorado has since started to warm back up, with longer-term outlooks published by the National Weather Service showing that above-the-norm temps are expected in Colorado through the end of the month. That being said, more snow is on the way this week, with more snow likely to hit Colorado next week, too.
