The Burning Question: Will Denver Be Buried in a Snowpocalypse This Summer? (Spoiler Alert: Probably Not)
Ah, Denver. The Mile High City, where craft breweries flow like rivers and sunshine is practically a guarantee (well, except for those pesky afternoon thunderstorms). But with July upon us, a thought might be lurking in the back of your mind, a question so absurd it's almost comical: Will Denver get any more snow this summer?
Hold onto your hats (because, let's face it, you probably won't need them), the answer is a resounding NO. While Denver can be a city of surprises, a blizzard in July is about as likely as encountering a herd of buffalo tap-dancing down 16th Street Mall.
Now, before you start stocking up on pool floats and sunscreen with reckless abandon, let's delve a little deeper into the fascinating (or perhaps terrifying, depending on your love for the white stuff) world of Denver's summer snowfall...well, lack thereof.
