The Burning Question: How Much Snow Will Denver Get This Winter? Will We Be Building Snowmen or Crying in Our Basements?
Ah, Denver. The Mile High City, known for its craft beer, stunning mountain views, and...well, let's be honest, sometimes questionable weather. But one thing that keeps everyone on the edge of their seats (or frantically refreshing weather apps) every year is the big question: how much snow will we get this winter?
Will We Be Shoveling Our Way to Sanity (or Insanity?)
QuickTip: Revisit posts more than once.
Fear not, fellow Denverites! While predicting the exact snowfall is about as accurate as guessing the number of pigeons in Cheesman Park (let's be real, it's a lot), we can look at some clues.
Tip: Jot down one takeaway from this post.
- The Great and Powerful Farmer's Almanac: They've predicted a "colder than average" winter for Denver. But hey, the Farmer's Almanac also once predicted the end of the world in 2012, so take it with a grain of salt (or a sprinkle of chili on your breakfast burrito).
- The Sneaky Snow Gods: Last year, Denver saw a measly 14% LESS snowfall than average. Will they unleash a snowpocalypse this year to make up for it? Only time will tell, folks.
But Here's the Truth: Nobody. Really. Nobody knows for sure how much snow Mother Nature will grace (or maybe torture) us with this winter.
Tip: Let the key ideas stand out.
So What Can We Do? (Besides Sacrificing to the Snow Gods?)
QuickTip: Save your favorite part of this post.
- Embrace the Mystery! The unpredictability is part of Denver's charm, right? It keeps us on our toes (and maybe occasionally stuck in traffic).
- Invest in a Good Snow Shovel (and Maybe a Therapist): Because let's face it, Denver snow can be a double-edged sword. Pretty one minute, paralyzing the next.
- Stock Up on Hot Chocolate (and Maybe Booze): You'll need something to warm you up after a day of shoveling or, you know, dealing with the emotional rollercoaster of winter.
How to Prepare for the Great Denver Snow Unknown
- How to Channel Your Inner Snow Princess (or Prince): Perfect your hot cocoa recipe, dig out your favorite winter gear, and get ready to embrace the cozy vibes.
- How to Become a Snow Removal Ninja: Invest in a good shovel, practice your shoveling technique (it's a workout!), and maybe bribe your neighbor with cookies for driveway-sharing privileges.
- How to Deal with Cabin Fever (Because Snowstorms Can Be Long): Stock up on books, games, and binge-worthy shows. Board game nights with friends are a great way to stay social and avoid cabin fever.
- How to Survive a Snowpocalypse (Just in Case): Make sure you have a well-stocked pantry with non-perishables, keep your phone charged, and have a plan to stay warm if the power goes out.
- How to Maintain Your Sanity (Because Winter Can Be Trying): Remember, this too shall pass. Spring will eventually come (hopefully with fewer potholes). In the meantime, focus on the good stuff: cozy nights by the fireplace, snowball fights (if you're feeling feisty), and the beauty of a fresh snowfall (at least for the first few hours).
So there you have it, Denverites. We may not know how much snow is coming, but we can definitely prepare for the ride. Here's to a winter filled with laughter, hot cocoa, and maybe just a touch of controlled chaos (because let's be real, Denver wouldn't be Denver without it).
