See this story in the Casper Star Tribune which reports that Cheyenne, the capital of Wyoming, had a record cold day recently. On Friday, August 15, the high temperature in Cheyenne was 49 F degrees, the previous low record for that date was 60 F degrees, set in 1888. In other words, the new record is eleven degrees colder.
Nearby, Denver hit record cold the next day, August 16, beating the previous low for the date set 118 years ago by five (5) degrees!
Brrr, we could use some of Al Gore's global warming, eh?
