The temp of -45F was WITH WINDCHILL.

The highest recorded temperature was 105°F in 2005.
The lowest recorded temperature was -25°F in 1990. Add windchill to that temp and that is where the -45F temp comes in. Plus, there are A LOT of days where it hit -20F in Denver's history. NOAA shows all of them.

Also, the record low WITH WINDCHILL was around -25F to -50F below zero. That is a FACT. On Feb 2, 2007, a warning was given that temps WITH WINDCHILL would get close to -50F.

Also, not everyone lives in Denver proper. The surrounding metro area has even LOWER and HIGHER record temps.

Anything east of I-25 is considered TORNADO ALLEY. The fact is that Adams County has had 148 tornadoes since 1950. Weld County has had 227 tornadoes. As far as hail damage, Denver has taken the title of "hail capital" more than once. With hail storms causing millions in damage.

Here is a link to the FACTS of temps in Denver

So, my post was NOT filled with false information. I put up a link to prove it.

A -45 windchill is not the norm, by any means, in Denver in the winter. I've now lived in the city for 7 winters and have never seen it hit -20. Winters are wamer than 100 years ago.

Tornado alley??? That's laughable. When was the last F-5 that rolled through Denver? Tornadoes that hit on the eastern side of the metro area tend to be F-0 or maybe an F-1, just a glorified dust devil.

I can't speak for all of SD btw, I spent most of my time in Ocean side, carlsbad, and San Marcos. IN the phoenix area, I live in the East Valley. Today, we had a cold front, its dipped down to 69 at my house. It even rained (which is nice once and a while).

Is it true that sewage from south of the border is polluting San Diego beaches? I honestly hope This Report is false. I snopes'd it and tried googling it and only stumbled onto more disturbing photos of some nasty trash coming right up on the beaches and making it otherwise dangerous to be around.

Don't know, I did not see any trash on the beach at Carlsbad, or Ocean Side, The places I visit: but that doesnt mean a darn thing. If it is true, Ill take San Diego off my fantasy list of places I would live if a rich family member dies, and I wind up RICH. Other wise, Ill just hang out here in Gilbert Az and and ponder the meaning of life. Sorry I could not be any help to you.

They might know more over in the san diego forum??

Don't dispute me! Dispute NOAA, the Denver newspaper & the Denver weather stations. They are the ones who stated the information!

You need to CLICK THE LINKS I provided, they have the information for you to view.

Why is LBear focusing on the extremes? If you look at record temps, wind chills, and extreme weather, you can paint a horrible picture of just about anywhere.

DENVER -- February 2, 2007 -

"At 4:44 a.m. Friday morning, Denver International Airport dropped to 18 degrees below zero, setting a new record low for Feb. 2. The previous low temperature was 16 degrees below zero, last set in 1996.

The life-threatening temperatures were accompanied by unbelieveably low wind chill temperatures, in the 25 below to 50 below zero range."

Yes, I agree. For information on "Tornado Alley", see this link from the University Center for Atmospheric Research. (A reliable source) Hint: Colorado is NOT a part of it.

Tornado Alley

PS: From the link that LBear posted:

In fact, this is the coldest Denver has been in the last nine years, said Chief Meteorologist Mike Nelson.

So if it was the coldest it had been in 9 years, that would sort of speak to it being unusual weather, no?

Tornado Alley

WHAT????

I am no geography expert, but the red zone CLEARLY has Colorado in it. When zoomed in, Denver and anything east of Denver in Colorado are CLEARLY in tornado alley.
