Or at least of the official snow-on-the-ground, which has hung around since … well, our ill-fated attempt to fly out to California for Christmas.
The city was officially covered in snow for 61 straight days until Tuesday morning, when a National Weather Service contractor declared only a “trace” at the designated measuring site – a field surrounding the old Stapleton Airport weather station in northeast Denver.
That put an end to the second-longest stretch of snow-cover days in Denver history.
The latest streak fell just two days short of tying the record of 63 days, attained in the winter of 1983-84, and it broke the old second-place mark of 60 days, recorded in the winter of 1913-14.
The warm weather the past week has really put the kibosh on the snow. Even the stuff in the gutters has been reduced to icky black ice floes. Yay.
