Denver averages about 49 inches of snow a year, but only about 21 of it falls from December through February. Upslope storms, when moist air is pushed west against the foothills, drop much of the rest, and the strong sun often melts it quickly. The season is long, with about 12 inches in fall and about 16 in spring, so flakes can fly from October into May.
