Denver's always the same: different every day. Playing catch with my son in short sleeves on Sunday, foot of snow on Monday, 50s and sunny today....

I feel bad for ya'll up in the vortex though. Those temps are not fit for man nor beast.

Jeez...stay save folks.
I don't miss that part of Minnesota. 
That is why I left Minnesota. For years my family would ask if i would move back. My sister asked me many years ago. What would it take you to come back? I told her. A warrant and handcuffs...lol. She stopped asking. 30+ years now. I think they figured it out.

Yeah, I don't remember ever being in -60's windchill before.  The last time I looked before falling asleep last night I had -31/-63 wc.  It said -36/-56 when I woke up.  The last thing I wanted to do was leave the house and come to work.  I love driving on 'square' tires. :p

Coldest I remember was in Grand Forks ND back in Jan 96 I think.  Got down to near -40 straight air temp.  had a record number of days it didn't get above 0.
Glad I am not living there this year.  Or any year actually.

Returned from Ontario snowmobile trip about 7 days ago and the temps near cochrane were -42 overnight. This isn't bad.
