In the 90's Denver international airport moved out on the plains more. Micro climates are a big deal around Denver. It's new location will show hotter in the summer and cooler in the winter. I've seen temps at the old Stapleton location 14 below and DIA at 42 with howling winds (and higher elevation, cold air settles in low areas). The winds warm the air. I've also seen temps in the 60's along the foothills in the winter and under 20 in the city just 10 miles away. BTW, it feels better in the cold with no wind when the sun is out
