Originally Published 2 years ago — by FOX 31 Denver
Denver tied a 94-year-old cold record on Monday with temperatures only reaching a high of 2 degrees, making it the coldest Martin Luther King Jr. Day in Denver history. The last time a high temperature this cold was recorded on Jan. 15 was in 1930. Although temperatures didn't break the 1888 record for the lowest-ever temperature, they dipped to 7 below zero, bringing extremely cold temperatures and dangerous wind chill to Colorado over the holiday weekend.
