Record February Snowfall in Denver

[John Farley]

Denver has broken a 103-year old record for February snowfall, with 22.2 inches as of yesterday, breaking the old record of 22.1 inches set in 1912. And there's a good chance they will add to this year's record, as snow is in the forecast again for tomorrow.

As those of you who were at chasercon know, the first half of February was very warm, with 10 days 60 degrees or warmer, including several in the 70s. Then the pattern changed.

I am quite excited by the uptick in moisture, hoping it sticks around long enough for a strong High Plains chase season.

The drought monitor is looking quite sickly across the Southern and Central Plains but the Midwest and High Plains North of the Palmer Divide are decent!
