Incredible Snow Statistics!

To put last week's incredible snow storm, as well as this season's unusual snowfall, into perspective, I asked my meteorological cohort, Brendan Heberton (@BrendansWeather) to do some number crunching.

Here are the very cool statistics he came up with:

• Denver has seen 142% of average snowfall so far this season. We've recorded 50.3" so far this season, and on average we receive 35.3" through the entire month of February.
• We could receive no snow between now and April and still be above average for the season!
• We are at 85% of the entire seasonal average for snowfall in Denver right now, with two of our snowiest months to go!

Incidentally, last night's over-performing snow, which brought up to 4 or 5" in some spots like downtown Denver, only managed to bring 1" officially at DIA.

Next chance for accumulating snow -- though at least at this point, it doesn't look like a big deal -- would be late Saturday into Sunday of this coming weekend.
