• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

I'm a little surprised that -13 would be record cold for Denver... I coldest temp I've seen this morning has been -36 in Embarrass, MN. Much of wisconsin got into the -20s. I figured that with the elevation, the record lows in Denver for this time of year would be well into the -20s. I suppose w/o being in a valley and getting drainage, perhaps the lowlevel's don't decouple as quickly to allow the temperatures to tank.

I just double checked. Old record was -3 set back in 1880. Also, the daily record was broken for the 17th as well. -10F vs -9F set in 1993.
 
Another day, another record low for Denver. Shortly after midnight the previous record low for the 19th of February (+3F) was broken with a low of -4F.

The NWS noted that this clears any of the remaining postive record lows for the month of February.
 
Well out here on the High Plains 100 miles northeast of Denver we hit -28 below zero (not kidding here! :shock: ) at 12:08 a.m. on Saturday according to our digital thermometer. My farm is on a small plateau north of Fort Morgan, we are 500 feet higher than the South Platte River Valley twenty iles to the south. We actually get colder here at home than in the valley often times, which is strange because you would think the cold air would settle in the river valley, rather than hug the higher ground above the valley. For example, Sterling was -14 below and Fort Morgan was -19 below, and they are both down in the river valley, and our minimum temp beat out theirs by fourteen and nine degrees repectively. Oh well, it's Colorado, you can't expect any aspect of the weather around here to be semi-normal at any time. 8)
