64°F to 30°F 9:25am to 11:53am.. Now that's an Arctic front.
St Cloud, Minnesota. Not just a scene like this there. Areas of South Dakota and Wisconsin looking like this as well
I can verify... the Arctic Invasion was successful in Denver, unfortunately.
The next 2 days would be far below average even for January, let alone November. The last two days I was wearing shorts, mowed the lawn, and wore sunblock. Now I'm scrambling for a parka and my warmest gloves We're going to have record low high temps the next 3 days, possibly more than 40 degrees below average.
Well, you can HAVE IT! lol! I HATE cold and snow As soon as my kids are done with high school, we're heading back to Southern California
If only I could have it. I can see myself moving to the Northwest (but not the coast), or Northern New England. Or the Upper Midwest. Or anywhere that gets more snow and cold weather than NJ.

People who truly love snow are disappointed by Denver. There is rarely snow on the ground for very long. Winter is typically dry and snows are typically in the dusting to 3" range, and then the strong sun and warm temperatures melts it fast. Our coldest average high temps are 43, so we don't typically have multiple days where the high temperature is below freezing. The weather in Denver for the next 3 days would be unusually cold for January, so insane for early November.

I'm aware of that. What I do like about Denver is the length of the snowy season. You have can snow more easily in October, November, and even April and May. The large standard deviation at least allows for a lot of cold weather, too, even if the averages don't really reflect that. Snow melting too fast is unfortunately something I'm used to here in NJ. You guys get at least 50 inches of snow per year on average. Our average is about half that. Some winters (like last one) we can get almost 70 inches, though. Still, I hate the sometimes mild winters. At least we get big blizzards sometimes. I do love those. But I can't ignore the negatives. I don't think Denver's the best place in this country for snow by any means, but I'd say it's better than here.
My location is also supposed to get in on the colder than normal temps. The temperature change looks drastic from Wednesday to Thursday. However, we'll be one of the warmest places in the country as this comes through. Even on the coldest day (Friday) 85% of the country will be warmer than us.
While I doubt we'll get snow this time, if this pattern continues to January, we will.
I lived in Denver in the mid 90s and one Sunday afternoon in September (football season) I was watching
an NFL game on TV from Mile High and it was 92 degrees, and Monday morning when we were driving to work it was snowing ! That's one of the reasons I love Denver, maybe the most dynamic climate in the country in terms of sheer dramatic changes in temp and precip in such a relatively brief time interval.
