The Great Denver Snowpocalypse (Spoiler Alert: It Wasn't That Apocalyptic)
Ah, Denver snow. It's a beautiful thing... until you're stuck shoveling your driveway for the third time in a week. But hey, at least it keeps things interesting, right? So, the question on everyone's mind (besides "when will this madness end?") is: just how much snow did Denver get hammered with this time?

| How Much Snow Did Denver Get |
The Official Tally: Not as Much as You Thought (Probably)
Let's cut to the chase: Unlike that time we all woke up to a winter wonderland in May (seriously, Mother Nature, make up your mind!), this snowfall wasn't quite the epic blizzard some news outlets were hyping. Denver itself didn't see a ton of accumulation, with reports ranging from just a dusting to a mighty 3.2 inches at Denver International Airport (DIA). Yes, you read that right, folks. Disappointed? Don't worry, the mountains got a whole different story.
QuickTip: A quick skim can reveal the main idea fast.
The Mountain Regions Get the Real Deal
While Denverites were scraping their windshields with a sigh, folks up in the mountains were head over heels (literally, in some cases) with the fresh powder. We're talking places like Trail Ridge Road getting smacked with a whopping 20 inches! Imagine, pristine slopes and untouched powder as far as the eye can see. Sounds like a dream for skiers and snowboarders, right?
QuickTip: Reread for hidden meaning.
But Wait, There's More! (Because There Always Is)
Of course, it wouldn't be Denver snow without a little chaos. Some areas around the city, like Westminster and Broomfield, got hit a bit harder, with reports of up to 18 inches. So, while some were basking in the winter glory, others were knee-deep in snow and battling frozen car doors. Hey, that's the beauty (and sometimes the curse) of living in a place with four distinct seasons!
QuickTip: Don’t ignore the small print.
