| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Arctic air spilled down mainly into the lower elevations of western Colorado in early December and remained trapped for about two weeks. Overnight low temperatures dropped below zero Fahrenheit throughout the area, with many locations breaking all-time record cold readings for particular days. Even the high temperatures were very cold at some locations, including Gunnison where the maximum reading on December 8th was a frigid 15 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. Some of the coldest temperatures (in Fahrenheit) recorded in western Colorado during this time period included minus 39 degrees at Crested Butte, minus 37 degrees at Gunnison, minus 23 degrees at Yampa, and minus 20 degrees near Meeker. Frozen water pipes burst in many areas resulting in water damage to numerous homes and businesses. The exact amount for the cost of repairing the damage likely exceeds a hundred thousand dollars. |
