Sometimes I wonder. On our radio a couple days ago the commentator on KOA Denver radio said the temperature had set a new high record for that day of the month.
Then later in the day, on KOA, a different commentator said that the warm temperature was the warmest for that day of the month since higher temperatures were recorded on the same day, each time on six different years in the 1930's. He stated that the highest temperature recorded in Denver on that day of the month was recorded in 1931.
I guess it depends on where the temperature is measured. Here on our ranches we have the weather records since the 1960's on the South ranch and 1980's on the North ranch. The weather has been warm for a few days but not as warm as some other February days on some years in the past. It hasn't been warm enough yet to melt all of our snow. March is our snowiest month so I don't expect to see green grass sprouting yet.
