Previous Record Dates Back To 1894.
It certainly made for quite the winter wonderland on this Christmas Day, and provided quite the surprise to residents.
“I think we expected a few flurries and there's probably eight or nine inches now. It's just like Norman Rockwell," .
Denver officially recorded 7.8 inches of snow on Christmas Day.
The storm dropped the most snowfall in Denver on Christmas Day in more than 100 years. The previous all-time record for snowfall on Dec. 25 in Denver was 6.2 inches, recorded in handwritten records in 1894.
Meteorologists say the latest storm boosted Denver's December snow total above 15 inches -- about 7 inches above average for the month.
Depending on where you live, you saw anywhere from an inch to over a foot of snow. Denver had reported nearly 8 inches.
Still in Bali ?

I was trying ( poorly ) to point out that man-made global warming was not working out as al gore had planned.
Bagdad is also cold as referenced by the Christians having to dress against the cold to go to church in Bagdad. ( Not just Colorado )
Denver does not generally get that much snow as it is only at 5,000 feet. The mountains are 10,000 to 14,000 feet.
The snow generally melts sooner ,too.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
