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.

☃️ Now that's a real snowfall event! Generally 1 to 5" of snow fell across the Front Range cities, with 4 to 7" in the Foothills.
Officially, #Boulder recorded 6.7" and #Denver 4.5" (the city's first of the season)
Let's hope Mother Nature keeps the moisture coming! 💦#COWx pic.twitter.com/ZVbmdO8Tjj

😲 Peak wind gusts from Saturday. It will be MUCH less windy today, but cooler with more clouds thanks for an overnight cold front. #cowx pic.twitter.com/d7myLhjeg1

You can clearly see where the bridge is on Arapahoe at Foothills in Boulder. Expect the bridges, ramps, overpasses to be slick. pic.twitter.com/6x81lwC2UM

What conditions cause Boulder to get more snow than Nederland and higher Foothills in an event like this (outside of localized banding)? Upslope being shallow! Current upslope over the area is only about 2700 feet deep (below pink line), or up to 8000 feet elevation #COWx pic.twitter.com/bvD91ZJABY

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃 There could be a few isolated flurries this morning, but otherwise expect decreasing clouds & pleasant conditions today. Highs in lower 40s. Travel impacts include gusty winds east of I-25 & light snow accumulations along the Palmer Divide. Enjoy! pic.twitter.com/wHUYwE5Vgj

Snow totals from the recent storm on Tuesday! Officially 5.5" was recorded in Boulder and 1.7" in Denver (DIA). Had nearly a perfect forecast, though some places came in about 1/2" too low (Ned, Evergreen, Denver downtown and DIA). Highest total was 8" at Winter Park! #COwx pic.twitter.com/qDz6BeAUbq
