As bitterly cold temperatures once again settle over the Denver area, UCHealth is reporting an increase in frostbite patients and is reminding residents just how fast it can cause problems
DENVER — As bitterly cold temperatures once again settle over the Denver area, UCHealth is reporting an increase in frostbite patients and is reminding residents just how fast exposure to the cold can cause problems.
While it’s unclear why the hospital is seeing an uptick in frostbite cases, a colder-than-average winter season in Colorado, thanks in part to the influences of La Niña, could be playing a role. Temperatures in Denver will dip to near zero by early Monday morning. A wind chill advisory is set to take effect over the I-25 corridor and across the eastern plains until 9 a.m. Monday.
