Record Low In Colorado Springs.
The temperature in Colorado Springs hit a record low of 37 degrees overnight, breaking a record of 38 set in 1906, according to the National Weather Service.
The weather service’s official point of reference is the Colorado Springs Airport, and temperatures were actually lower elsewhere in the region.
Randy Gray, the observation program leader at the weather service in Pueblo, said it was 28 degrees at 6 a.m. at the Air Force Academy. He also said a weather-watcher near Leadville reported just under a half-inch of snow over the past 24 hours.
“There was a low-pressure system that originated in the Pacific Northwest. We didn’t actually even bare the brunt of that system because it passed north of Colorado. It had a real strong circulation with it, so we were sort of on the south end of the low-pressure system,†Gray said.
THIS IS BUSH’S FAULT!!!!
