It's been 224 consecutive days since it snowed a measurable amount in Denver, and since snowfall records began in 1882, Denver has never entered December without measurable snow.
Snowless in Colorado? No, this is not a follow-up to the Tom Hanks movie"Sleepless in Seattle," but rather a real-life drama unfolding across the state with very real-life consequences.
It's been 224 consecutive days since it snowed a measurable amount in Denver, and it has just broken the record for the latest date for a first snowfall -- a record that has held since snowfall records began in 1882. In that time, Denver has never entered December without measurable snow.This extended dry period has implications for the state's long-standing drought, a dwindling water supply and a population that wants to hit the slopes.
— NWS Boulder November 29, 2021 "Everywhere across the state is experiencing some kind of drought conditions," Ayesha Wilkinson, a National Weather Service meteorologist, told CNN. For example,"Denver has just recorded their second-least snowiest November," with no measurable snow observed -- meaning they had some flurries, but nothing accumulated. This November is behind only 1949 when literally"no flakes fell from the sky.

Colorado's statewide snow water equivalent remains well below average as of 12/01/21.Like Telluride, some ski resorts were forced to delay their opening day until after Thanksgiving, foregoing revenue from the extended holiday weekend.
— NWS Boulder November 26, 2021 Joel Gratz, who forecasts snow for ski resorts and is founding meteorologist of OpenSnow, told CNN Weather,"A couple of feet of snow can help many mountains open a lot of terrain. One to three storms can deliver this much snow, so things can change quickly." Colorado ski enthusiasts look for storms that come in from the southwest, because they carry abundant moisture from the Pacific Ocean that can equate to several feet of snow in the mountains.
