Digging through some of the data… Here in Thornton we recorded 13.8″ of snow with the recent storm. That is the biggest single storm snow total since October 2009. With that storm we recorded 14.1″ over a period from October 27 to October 29. Prior to that, you would have to go back to the monster pre-Christmas storm in December 2006 to find a bigger one (23.2″).

For Denver, the Mile High City officially broke three snowfall records and the month entered the top 10 list of snowiest Februarys. Get all the details on that from the Denver Weather Examiner here.

Thornton residents have begun digging out from the major winter storm that deposited an extraordinary amount of snow on the city.  In the end, the storm will go into the record books as the biggest February snowstorm in Denver history.

Here is Thornton we recorded 13.8″ of snowfall and that was actually one of the lower totals across northeastern Colorado. It was however our biggest snowstorm since October 2009.

As officially recorded at Denver International Airport, Denver recorded 15.9 inches of snow from the storm system.  This handily broke the old single storm February record of 14.1 inches set in 1912.

Further, February 2012 now enters the history books as the 10th snowiest February ever recorded in Denver. With more than three weeks to go, it is possible we will climb the top 10 list even further.

The 12.5″ DIA saw yesterday set a new single day record for February 3rd beating the old record for the date of 9.5″ set in 1932. This also is the biggest single day snowfall total ever recorded in Denver during February.

The snow has moved out and the sun will be shining soon as residents begin digging out from a record-setting snowstorm.  Here is Thornton we recorded 13.8″ of snowfall and that was actually one of the lower totals across northeastern Colorado. It was however Thornton’s biggest snowstorm since October 2009 when we recorded 14.1″ from a late month event.

Snow began falling Thursday evening and continued through the night, all through the day Friday and into Saturday morning.  By this morning most of the metro area was only seeing a few flakes falling and by the end of the day the sun will return.

Below is a time lapse video from our east facing webcam.  It covers from 4:00pm on Thursday, February 2 to 6:00am on Saturday, February 4 compressing that period into a little more than one minute.
