edpaffjr.comToday marks the 50th consecutive day with snow on the ground in Denver. And guess what? It was just snowing a little more. This current streak is now the 3rd longest streak in history. The 2nd longest was 60 days between December 1, 1913 and January 29, 1914. The longest streak was 63 days between November 26, 1983 and January 27, 1984. This current streak started on December 21, after a massive blizzard of 21+ inches. For the current record to be broken, snow would need to be on the ground until February 22nd. Keep your fingers crossed, I guess.
The measurement today was 6 inches, so we still have a long way to go. Here is the listing of the snow depth from each of the past 50 days. There is also an additional news story on www.thedenverchannel.com.
Our streak ended yesterday, February 19, just three days shy of setting a new record. This was long enough to make it into second place, however. The weather for the rest of the week looks great, predicted highs in the 50s until Saturday!
