The "Mile High" city finally recorded it's first snowfall of the season two days after thanksgiving as a strong trough moved through the northern Rockies.

To count as "measurable" snow, it needs to accumulate to at least one-tenth of an inch, which the Denver airport doubled with a quick round of snowfall Saturday morning. The first snow date of November 29th makes it Denver's 2nd latest start to the snow season on record, with 2021 being the only year with a later first snow.

The snowfall also ended a long streak of snow-less days, tied for the third longest since record keeping began.

Areas in Montana and Wyoming saw heavier snow, with some totals surpassing 8-10".

Next Round

A trailing low pressure system will bring snow back the Mountain West from Sunday into Monday as it dives from Oregon to New Mexico. I-70, I-15, I-84, and I-80 could see snow accumulating on Sunday, causing slow downs to post-Thanksgiving travel.

While the mountains look to see 6-12 inches of new snow, areas along I-25, including Denver, are only expected a dusting to an inch or two.
