Valentine's Day Climatology for Eastern Utah and Western Colorado

 

Let's take a look at some "Sweet Stats" (aka Valentine's Day Climatology) for selected cities across eastern Utah and western Colorado. By far the most impressive Valentine's Day took place on February 14, 1937 when an intense snowstorm dropped 21 inches of snow in the Durango area. Another snowy year was 1990 where 9 inches of snow fell in Meeker, 7.5 inches fell in Craig, and 6.0 inches fell in Rifle. The lowest minimum temperature on Valentine's Day was -35 degrees which occurred in the Meeker area in 1895. The warmest temperature of 69 degrees occurred in Moab in 1991.
