Not only cold for the Denver metro area but, check out Granby and Grand Lake. -17 to - 22!
Even our friends on the Western Slope wont be able to escape the frigid temps for the first night of the new year!
Add into that there will be a little wind from time to time thru the morning. Areas of eastern Colorado and the San Luis Valley may see a few gusts from 15 to 20 mph.
