Many of you were likely underwhelmed by the snowfall event this week which was inevitable. Despite the media hype for this storm, the most likely scenario, at least from a pattern recognition standpoint, ultimately did unfold across the Denver area with most locations seeing little to no snowfall as the heavier bands stayed just to the east. Let’s take a look at the snow totals across the Front Range!
November 2022 finally broke the streak of four consecutive months of above normal temperatures in Boulder — and by a considerable margin. The bitter cold air led to several fluffy snow events across the area which aided in etching this November as a top ten snowiest and coldest November for the city. Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during November and how it relates to climatology.
We concluded the already very snowy and cold month of November with even more snow and cold on Tuesday. A brief period of moderate to heavy snow led to a slick morning commute in many areas, with some of the coldest air of the season filtering in as the snow cleared out. Let’s take a look at the snowfall totals across the area, review November’s weather so far, and discuss the largely pleasant weather that lies ahead.
Snow began earlier that expected Thursday morning making for three consecutive tricky commutes across the Denver Metro area. Light snow continued almost continuously for 24 hours leading to a slow but steady accumulation reaching several inches of snow across the Front Range, with up to a foot in some upslope-favored locations. Let’s take a look at the snow totals and the beautiful weather that lies ahead for the weekend.
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.
August 2022 followed the trend of the rest of the summer as another hot and somewhat dry month across the Front Range. August began very warm, cooled off around the middle of the month as monsoon moisture surged, and finally once again turned toasty by months’ end. Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during August and how it relates to climatology.
