Why is it so cold in Denver?

The altitude and the mountains are obvious answers.  Central Colorado gets that nice wind that chills you to the bone and can't seem to get over the mountains.  Also it is high plains desert have extreme temperatures: 110 in the summer, and very cold in the winter..  It's been cold up there?  It's been really warm in Pueblo lately, snowing today though.

Precipitation from the clouds, which hover around the top of the mountain, freezes due to the lower temperatures. And we have snow!

Sometimes its warm up in the atmosphere, but cold down here. So when it seems like it might snow, it comes out as a wet rain. Sometimes its caused by warm fronts and cold fronts and high pressure and cold pressure that come threw and change the weather.

the weather is pretty cold because it it far from the sun.It's temperature is -214 C.Its atmosphere is mainly made of hydrogen and methane gas.It has seasons different from us because it is tipped over its side

Sure, plenty of snow already - parking lots are full on Mt Hood. The mountains look great from the city already.  Yup, it'll snow some more, even in low elevations... could begin in PDX overnight. basically whenever it looks like it could get below 35 degrees farenheit, there's the possibility of lower actual temps.  Probably won't stick long, tho - unless a ton falls - and it gets clear to keep things frosty.  (AM commuters will need to use extreme caution for hidden black ice and slick spots)

Cold, windy, and overcast.

because it is very cold at cloud level and at cloud level that\nrain was once snow until it reached below a certain level and\nthen it melted.

It's far from the sun and it's a "dead" world - there are no internal processes that generate heat.  So nothing to warm it up means it's freezing cold.

maybe its the climate....

How cold?  I live in Colorado and lots of plants survive through the winter.  They are dormant during the cold months though.

It is a great day to be alive : )\n\nIt's 64 and dropping here.  We've been having weird weather here (NW ARKANSAS) also.  All the warm weather has prompted the flora to try and bloom again, even though it's almost winter.  By Wednesday night it's supposed to change drastically with snow, sleet and below freezing temps.  BRRR!\n\nEnjoy the rest of your day : )

It's actually winter here butthe funny thing is that it's still about 85oF. 90oF really isn't very warm.

Air temperature may be several degrees warmer than ice surface temperature. Light, including infrared or warmth, is reflected from white surfaces.\n\nThe surface of the ice will melt, slowly, during the day, but it will freeze again over night. That's one of the reasons why a snow field slowly turns into ice.

It takes time to transfer the thermal energy to the snow.  Snow also has an insulating effect on lower layers of snow, making it difficult to transfer heat there, making snow more persistent than would be expected.

There are some people that aren't designed for cold places and there are also people who can't tolerate hot places. A coat with good insulation and with a hood might help.
