Storm Recap: Boulder officially recorded its first accumulating snow of the season on Thursday….but it was only 0.1″

October 28, 2022 / BoulderCAST Team

Much-needed rain and snow fell across the Front Range on Thursday as a quick-moving storm raced across the state. Though temperatures remained entirely above freezing in Boulder and Denver, some embedded heavier pockets of snow allowed for minor accumulations to occur on the grass in spots, including at the official climate station in Boulder. This made for an interesting but somewhat underwhelming first snowfall of the season for many. We recap the storm, take a look at the snowfall totals across the region, announce the plethora of winners to our 2022 First Snowfall Contest, and look ahead to our next chance of snow.

Cooler weather & maybe snow in the extended forecast, plus the entries to our 2022 First Snowfall Contest!

Thanks to everyone that entered our 2022 First Snowfall Contest. We briefly review the entries which actually trend towards a later date than Boulder’s climatology would suggest. We may not have to wait too long for a winner as cooler weather and maybe a few snowflakes are brewing in the extended forecast. Contest prizes and recognition will be awarded in the days following our first dumping of snow — big or small!
