Denver finally got its first snowfall of the season, shattering an 87-year-old record for the latest first snow
Denver finally got its first snowfall of the season on Friday, shattering an 87-year-old record for the city's latest first snow.
It wasn't much: The official measurement at the Denver International Airport was three-tenths of an inch (0.8 centimeters), according to Jim Kalina, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Boulder.
Before Friday, the Mile High City's latest first snow was on Nov. 21, 1934.
Kalina said the Denver metro region is experiencing extended La Nina weather patterns which tend to produce drier weather. And much of the U.S. West is experiencing a megadrought that studies link to human-caused climate change.
