As of 5:00am this morning, Denver’s February 2015 ranks as the sixth snowiest February on record.With more snow expected mid-week, it is highly likely the month will climb up the rankings.

How does Thornton compare? Denver’s total for the month is 17.7″ but we are ahead of that at 19.4″.

It should be noted that Denver’s measurement is taken at DIA and has been since 2008. Prior to that it was taken at Stapleton (1950-2007) and downtown (1882-1949). This year Stapleton is at 22.9″ for the month, enough that it would rank as the snowiest February on record had the official location for measuring snowfall not been moved.
