Colorado town records frigid low of -27 degrees Fahrenheit

On Friday morning, a northern mountain town in Colorado recorded a low temperature of -27 degrees Fahrenheit. This extreme cold was part of a broader trend, with several areas in the state experiencing temperatures below -20. The National Weather Service noted that clearing skies and fresh snow contributed to the drop in temperatures, particularly in low-lying regions. Fraser/Tabernash is among the coldest spots, often referred to as one of Colorado's "Ice Boxes." The state's historical record low is -61 degrees Fahrenheit, set in Maybell in 1985. For reference, Denver's record low for November 29 is -18 degrees, recorded in 1877.
