This just happened in Dillon, Montana by the way. So, people caught out in this type of 26 degree drop in temperature, (depending upon where you are and what the temperature was when you started could easily be fatal if not prepared for this!
The temperature went in 3 minutes from 27 degrees Fahrenheit to 1 degree Fahrenheit in 3 minutes.
This sounds like something out of the movive "The Day After Tomorrow"(2004) movie with
Dennis Quaid and others only this isn't fictitious this is in real life!
For example, it's 50 degrees Fahrenheit in Denver right now but will be minus 15 (-15) degrees Fahrenheit by tomorrow morning. So, the people not listening or watching about this problem might not survive or just get frostbite of fingers or have trouble breathing. I notice when it gets below 20 degrees Fahrenheit skiing if you don't put a muffler (scarf) or balaclava over your nose and mouth it often hurts your lungs to breathe air that cold. So, I usually carry at the least a Balaclava so I can breathe through the wool of the lower part below my mouth and cover my mouth with it so you only see my ski goggles and that's all of my face you see just the goggles and the balaclava. This will be a record low temperature for Denver by the Way tomorrow and after likely until Christmas or after.
