If you thought Monday was an extra chilly day in Salt Lake City, you were right. In fact, it was record-setting.

At the Salt Lake City International Airport the high was 50 degrees, making it cooler than any previously recorded Oct. 5.

The record low maximum temperature for the day was 51 degrees, set back in 1951.

Salt Lake City also had a trace of snow at the airport Monday, which has only happened once before on that date, in 1941. The airport received 0.87 of an inch of total moisture Monday.

Five other Utah locations in central and southern Utah — Delta, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Cedar City and Hanksville, also set record low overnight temperatures Monday, ranging from 10 to 33 degrees.
