While Denver Hosts Coldest Playoff Game, Heat Records Outscore Cold Records 50-3

The Denver Broncos may have lost their coldest NFL playoff game yesterday (go Ravens!), but the real record-breaking temperatures were observed east of the Mississippi on January 12. At least 50 major National Weather Service locations in 14 states set new record high temperature records, listed in the table below. By contrast, only 3 comparable low temperature records were set, in California and Oregon, and all with periods of record under 45 years.
