\"Thornton,<\/a>
Thornton, Colorado’s 2019 \/ 2020 snow season report and totals. Click for larger view. (ThorntonWeather.com)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As it appears we are done with the white stuff for the season, we can now report a finally tally for snow.<\/p>\n

Thornton\u2019s season recorded 84.3 inches, the second most since Thornton Weather came online in 2006. Only the 2015 \/ 2016 season had more (85.7 inches).<\/p>\n

The total is most notable because we never did receive a truly big storm, just a number of respectable ones. The totals were helped by big months in October, November and February which overcame a very dry December and January.<\/p>\n

Officially, as measured at Denver International Airport, only 57.6 inches was recorded. This was a mere 1\/2 inch more than Denver\u2019s long term seasonal average of 57.1 inches.<\/p>\n

Those numbers continue to reflect the problem with having the Mile High City\u2019s official weather station located out at the airport where it is in a totally different microclimate whose conditions don\u2019t reflect what the metro area really sees.<\/p>\n

For comparison, the site at Stapleton closest to where Denver\u2019s records were recorded for 57 years before the move to DIA saw 71.4 inches of snow this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
