But none of these unofficial low temperatures have broken any Summit County records, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Bernie Meyer. He noted that the recorded temperatures are not yet official, but he doesn\u2019t suspect cold weather records have been set.<\/p>\n<p>The wind chill factor adds another element to the cold. On Tuesday in Frisco, a 6 mph wind amounted to a wind chill factor as low as minus 2 degrees, according to the National Weather Service. The service predicts wind will continue at least through Thursday with gusts up to 18 mph.<\/p>\n<p>While Summit County didn\u2019t break any records for the cold, Park County did with a temperature of minus 44 degrees at Antero Reservoir. The low temperature isn\u2019t a record for the month of December, but it is for the date of Dec. 17.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily for those who aren\u2019t keen on the below zero temperatures, the thermometer will only go up from here.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis morning will be our coldest day of the coming week,\u201d Meyer said. \u201cThe warmest day looks to be Sunday, where we\u2019re looking at mid- to upper 40s.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meyer added that there will be a slow warmup throughout the week, with temperatures rising into the single digits Tuesday night. As for snow, Meyer reported that the forecast looks dry for the week and that the dry spell is expected to continue through at least Monday or Tuesday of next week.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.summitdaily.com\/news\/low-temperatures-sweep-across-colorado-mountains-but-no-records-in-summit-county\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Summit Daily<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keystone Resort on Monday, Dec. 16.
