DENVER(CBS)- After further review....Denver actually tied the All-Time Record for Longest Streak Without Snow on Thursday with 232 days! For the last several weeks the record number of days in the official tally for Denver was shown as 235 days set in 1887. But, new research shows it wasn't exactly that long.
