Default Epidemic of cracked windshields in KDEN, explanation unknown

How cold did it get in Denver? Aluminum and plastic have
different contraction rates with cold. Plastic also gets
brittle with cold. Wind flexes wing, which also flexes
fuselages, erg---cracks.


Single digits below zero. Nothing.

Certainly not "rocks blowing around".
