The streak of below-freezing temperatures started in metro Denver at 4 p.m. Monday and is forecast to break around noon Thursday, forecasters said.

Due to frigid temperatures forecast throughout the week, the City of Denver is extending its cold weather shelters through Feb. 20.

It may feel like spring has sprung but according to historical records, there will most likely be more cold temperatures and snow before the Mile High City warms up for the season.
