map of temperature rankings for October through December 2025 in Colorado, based on PRISM data. Nearly the entire state is in a dark brown color which corresponds to record warmest. Some splotches of being in the top-10 warmest are scattered across the state. From https://climate.colostate.edu/co_cag/rank_maps_prism.html

per preliminary data from PRISM, it was the warmest October through December period on record for the majority of Colorado. In many places, by a large margin (e.g., here in Fort Collins it was 2.4Β°F warmer than any previous Oct-Dec). #cowx

6am. Quite the temperature contrast across Fort Collins this morning depending on whether your neighborhood is feeling the downslope winds. Near 30F at CSU, but mid-50sF across southern parts of FOCO. Data from Weather Underground. #COwx

Mrs Cleanairguy has been sanitizing her kitchen replacing all of the plastic items. New coffeemaker, although finding one without plastic was not easy. New leftover containers made of glass. No more plastic kitchen utensils, etc.
