Denver Records First Measurable Snow of Season, Second-Latest on Record

A 0.2-inch reading at Denver International Airport ended a 224-day snowless stretch.

Overview

  • The National Weather Service measured 0.2 inches at Denver International Airport early Saturday, meeting the measurable threshold of at least 0.1 inch.
  • This first measurable snowfall ranks behind only Dec. 10, 2021, for Denver’s latest seasonal start on record.
  • Most of the metro area saw similarly light amounts around two-tenths of an inch, according to local reports.
  • The high country picked up far more, with 10.8 inches reported at Cameron Pass and Rabbit Ears Pass and many mountain locations receiving six inches or more.
  • Cold conditions are expected to persist with Front Range highs near freezing and overnight lows in the single digits and teens, with additional light mountain snow Sunday and a risk of icy roads into Monday.
