The previous daily record was 2.8" set in 1897.

~3” - and that is news?
in Denver?
surprised actually.
Global Warming!! Err, Climate Change!! Err, Climate Disruption!!!
Dang. That must be the one I was hoping would hit gay paris during the Clowns On Parade 21 event.
APOCALYPSE!!!
EVERY drive-by morning channel starts the news off with "Historic", "Extreme", this and that weather.
Poor quoting of the article. The pertinent info was the new record. 6.7 inches.
The previous record was nothing for records.
FYI, here in Southern Maine we have had no snow. Boston regional TV news just reported that most of New England will not have a white Christmas. Northern mountains have gotten snow.
Errrrr...
Check my tagline!
Well, since it was the first real winter storm so far it had to be the biggest this season. The usual misleading media crap.
The mountains make for a different snow schedule for parts of Colorado.
We planned a spring break trip to Colorado Springs one year in our RV. Got there, set up in gorgeous springtime like weather. Mentioned his pleasant it was to a local who responded “yeah, March is normally our heaviest snowfall month”. The Royal Gorge train was not open for the season yet, either.
We assumed January would have been when it was hard winter....
The snow in Denver is often completely gone in a day or two.
.
This season? Gee, it’s not even officially winter.
Broke the record for December 15. Not for any day ever.
That’s SNOWPOCALYPSE!!! for this storm.
Me, too. I’ve seen well over 6” many times in middle Tennessee.
6.7 inches????
We call that a light dusting here.
Last December we got 6.7 FEET overnight here in Buffalo, NY.
We had some snow on the ground here last year. I don’t think they measured it. They headed the snow off at the pass. It was about 2 to 3 inches at the pass.
This is record snowfall for December 15 in Denver. The headline is poorly written, but the story is about the December 15 record being broken, not about the most snowfall in a single day ever in Denver.
