The bulk of that snow fell with the big snow storm that blasted across the state on November 25th and 26th. DIA officially picked up 8.5 inches on the 26th alone. That storm buried the Denver Metro area with 8 to 22 inches of snow and some foothill locations saw 15 to 40 inches of heavy snow!

The former site of Denver's weather station (the old Stapleton Airport) recorded 14.0 inches of snow during the month. November's snow was the most measured in Denver since 1994 when 16.9 inches was recorded.
