March preview: Biggest snow month also brings much milder temperatures

The past two months have brought periods of extreme cold but not a lot of snow to Denver.  March however is our snowiest month and may bring a turnaround in those numbers.  It also typically brings much warmer temperatures.

March is historically Denver’s snowiest month and brings about 20% of our annual snowfall.  Heavy, wet spring snow storms can oftentimes bring the entire month’s snowfall total in one monstrous snow.

We also start the transition to spring and severe weather season and the month typically brings our first thunderstorms of the year.  Temperatures climb throughout the month and by the end our average daytime highs are near 60 degrees.
