Colorado,\u00a0 Northern\u00a0 State of U.S,\u00a0 got more than a glimpse of winter on Thursday when heavy snow and frigid temperatures arrived in the state.<\/p>\n

By Friday morning, some of the snow had already melted, but chilly, record-breaking temps still hovered over the Denver metro area.<\/p>\n

Denver shattered a record low \u00a0 early Friday when temps dipped to 9\u00b0. The previous record of 22\u00b0 was set all the way back in 1946. Late Thursday, the Mile High City set a record low with a temperature of 13\u00b0.<\/p>\n

Denver also just experienced the second largest 2-day temperature drop on record when temps went from 83\u00b0 on Wednesday afternoon to 9\u00b0 on Friday morning, according to a meteorologist.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile,\u00a0 The National Guard and other emergency resources were put on alert Friday in North Dakota amid a crippling snowstorm that is bringing high winds and drifting snow to parts of the Northern Plains.<\/p>\n

The storm has pummeled several states. Authorities said a 20-year-old Nebraska man died Thursday night when\u00a0 he lost control of his vehicle on an icy highway near Chadron, in northwestern Nebraska.<\/p>\n

North Dakota Highway Patrol advised drivers not to travel during a snowstorm<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Portions of at least two interstate highways in North Dakotoa were shut down Friday as officials warned people to stay home and avoid all non-emergency travel.<\/p>\n

Drivers in Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, the Dakotas, Colorado and Nebraska found dozens of roads closed by snow and accidents.<\/p>\n

At least three separate crashes involving more than 20 cars\u00a0 shut down northbound interstate 25 \u00a0on Thursday between Monument and Castle Rock, Colorado.<\/p>\n

The roads could remain closed until Sunday because crews will need time to clear the snow and ice once the storm passes<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
