The last "chilling" Halloween was in 2019. A rare October arctic snow and freeze had settled in across eastern Colorado, with temperatures dipping to a record low of -6 degrees early in the morning. Though a temperature swing of 42 degrees took place through the day, highs only warmed into the 30s, quickly dropping after sunset. In addition, snowfall from the previous 3 days remained on the ground. Prior to 2019, the day started out at a balmy 23 degrees in 2002, with ice covered roads making travel hazardous. The day did not fare much better, with cloudy skies keeping the weather cold and only 6 degrees of warming taking place through the daylight hours. That evening a cold freezing drizzle blanketed the area, making for a slippery trek across the neighborhood. In 1991, there was 7 inches of snow on the ground at 5 am that morning, with an additional 3.2 inches falling that day. The mercury rose to a high of only 34 degrees, while the low dipped to the second coldest recorded on Halloween of 14 degrees.

Temperatures are in degrees fahrenheit, from 1888 to present.
Precipitation/Snowfall records are in inches, from 1888 to present.

Current through 2021.
