The Great Denver Snowpocalypse: How Much Fluffy Stuff Did We Actually Get?
Ah, Denver. The Mile High City, where the craft beer flows like...well, not exactly like snow, but you get the idea. Except for this past spring, when for a glorious (or terrifying, depending on your perspective) few days, Denver transformed into a winter wonderland. But just how wonderland-y are we talking? Let's sift through the slush and get to the bottom of this whole "how much snow?" business.

| How Many Inches Of Snow Did Denver Get |
The Official Ruler Report: Not a Measly Measurement in Sight
For those who like things nice and official, the folks at Denver International Airport (DIA) meticulously documented a respectable 5.7 inches of the white stuff. That's enough to build a respectable snowman, have a snowball fight with the neighbors' poodle, or, if you're feeling particularly ambitious, attempt a very small-scale ski jump (though we strongly advise against it).
But hold on to your hats (because, let's face it, with all that snow, hats were probably mandatory)! DIA isn't exactly the pinnacle of Denver's snowfall experience.
QuickTip: Skim slowly, read deeply.
Beyond the Airport: A Tale of Two Cities (or More Like, Two Snow Totals)
Venture outside the airport bubble and things get interesting. Some Denver neighborhoods woke up to a winter wonderland with totals ranging from 8 to 12 glorious inches. Imagine waking up to a world blanketed in white! Enough snow for sledding, building epic snow forts, and maybe even convincing yourself you're living in a Hallmark Christmas movie (spoiler alert: you're not, but hey, a little snow-induced fantasy never hurt anyone).
On the flip side, Denver's northeastern side apparently threw a giant snowball at Mother Nature, because they saw nary a snowflake. That's right, folks, while some were digging out their cars, others were blissfully unaware of the whole snowy situation.
QuickTip: Slow scrolling helps comprehension.
The Moral of the Snowry Story?
There you have it, Denver! The answer to the age-old question ("how much snow did we get?") depends on where you were standing when the snow angels were falling. But one thing's for sure: this spring snowfall was a memorable one, reminding us that even in the Mile High City, a little bit of winter magic can come knocking on our door (or, more accurately, swirling through our windows).
