DENVER – Denver's snowless December finally came to an end this weekend. The city and surrounding areas saw our first measurable snow of the month, just in time to continue a streak of December snow that dates back to 1905.
About 3-5 inches was expected across Denver before the storm clears out late Saturday night. (The mountains were enjoying the snow, too – Telluride Ski Resort reported 15 inches from Friday morning to Saturday morning.)
