Snow on Halloween? Popular belief is that we seem to have a lot of snow when the trick or treaters are out on the street.
Conventional wisdom in the Denver area is that it always seems to rain or snow on Halloween. I know as a kid it seemed like Mother Nature always put a damper on our trick or treating.
But, is there any truth to this urban legend? Or is this just one of those times where our memory doesn’t serve us quite right?
This year it certainly looks like we have nothing to worry about but the National Weather Service has been kind enough to compile weather statistics just for Halloween. As it turns out, the thought of snow and rain on Octboer 31st isn’t just in our minds!
A Preview of Denver's November Weather - Will it be a Fall Month or a Winter Month?
A preview of Denver’s November weather – Will it be a fall month or a winter month? Typically November is a quiet weather month with plenty of nice, fall days but it can also turn wet with plenty of snow and moisture. Just like Forest Gump’s proverbial box of chocolates, you never quite know what you are going to get.
Looking into the weather history books, we see that November is actually Denver’s second snowiest month, second only to March (April is third). Historically we average 10.7 inches of snow during the month.
