Still no 100+ days, but a lot of 95+ days. The record is 73 90+ days from 2012. We'd have to have basically unabated torching between now and mid September to beat that. Well, a roasty August and a few hot days in September did it. DEN is at 74 90+ days this year, a new record. August was the warmest on record. Thanks to the record cold snap early in the month, September will likely end up just a bit above normal. 1 Quote A forum for the end of the world.

Black Hole Posted October 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 Today might be the last 100 degree day of the year.

Kayla Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 Models have been all over the place for this weekend snow event here. GFS/GEM push the Arctic front further south giving Bozeman 6-10" of snowfall. While on the Euro the front stalls just north of here with the cold air and moisture getting hung up north of here. The Euro only shows 1-3" of snowfall. Based off past events I'm guessing the Euro is wrong on this one as these Arctic fronts seem to always push further south than forecasted. Being east of the divide seems to allow cold air masses to seep in more freely here than modeled. The NWS seems to be leaning towards the Euro (don't blame them!) so it will be interesting to see what happens! 1 1 Quote Cold Season 2023/24: Total snowfall: 26" Highest daily snowfall: 5" Deepest snow depth: 12" Coldest daily high: -20ºF Coldest daily low: -42ºF Number of subzero days: 5 Personal Weather Station on Wunderground: https://www.wunderground.com/personal-weather-station/dashboard?ID=KMTBOZEM152#history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kayla Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 Looking more and more likely that a historic pattern is setting up Wednesday through Sunday for here. Both cold and snowfall records are likely to fall on several days though 1919 might be tough one to beat on some days. As of right now it looks like 3-5" of snowfall tomorrow night into Thursday morning with highs in the 20's and lows in the single digits. Friday into Saturday another push of Arctic air along with a passing low to the south could drop 12-18"+ of additional snowfall thanks to some very high snow ratios. Highs look to be in the low teens over the weekend with lows dropping below zero. 1 1 Quote Cold Season 2023/24: Total snowfall: 26" Highest daily snowfall: 5" Deepest snow depth: 12" Coldest daily high: -20ºF Coldest daily low: -42ºF Number of subzero days: 5 Personal Weather Station on Wunderground: https://www.wunderground.com/personal-weather-station/dashboard?ID=KMTBOZEM152#history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah February did kind of save the winter snow wise after a very dry December and January. I was referencing more temp wise for the winter though. Dec-Feb ended up being 2.2 degrees above average.

High temps are now expected to be in the teens both tomorrow and Monday (although we might have a midnight high a bit warmer for tomorrow), so the all-time October min max of 20 for DEN will likely fall.
