As I write this, we are in the final days of July. Hardly the time of year to think about snow, but it is just around the corner! The earliest "first snow" of the season in Denver happened on September 3, 1961. That's the earliest in the season when something more than just flurries fell on the mile high city. So what about this year? Here are the decidedly un-scientific guesstimates from the Fox 31 weather team of when we will see the first snow of the 2007-2008 season:

Erin Little...October 3rd (Pretty early,but this IS Colorado)

Chris Dunn....October 20th (1 day past the average date...going out on a limb there, Dunn.)

Chris Tomer...October 31st (Happy Halloween!)

Crystal Egger...November 4th (A later start to the snow season)

We shall see what eventually happens!

I usually shoot for Halloween only because we have had some good storms on that day...Honestly, I don't think we will be seeing much snow at all. I think we are about to experience the most dry winter of all. They are saying the temps in the northern hemisphere are becoming warmer each year...eventually we will have to set up more swimming areas due to long summers.

My guess is October 15th, if not a flurry sooner...cause we ARE in the FOOTHILLS...and yes, we usually have crappy weather on October 31st...usually, not 100%but the little goblins come out anyhow.
And I do recall the September ten inch storm we got dumped on in 2001! Try camping in that one.

I think,I have to agree with Chris Tomer because it has always been nasty on Halloween, either snow or just downright freezing with drizzle on the kids.

Hi Caer:

Most certainly an early snow in Westcliffe. I'll stick with my wintry Halloween forecast for the Denver area.

Well, well, well...
Our first snow of the season happened yesterday (10/21). Denver officially recorded .5" of snow. Guess who was closest?

Chris Dunn: 10/20
