How fast does snow typically melt in Denver?

Does it snow a lot in Boulder, CO? Fort Collins? Denver?

  • I live in Idaho, and I am thinking about moving to CO. I've heard that there is a lot of snow, and I have heard there isn't that much. Where I live we get about 4 feet of snow that stays on the ground the whole winter. Does it snow for a day and then melt, or does the snow usually stick around for a while?

  • Answer:

    Some winters are mild, some are awful, but, generally snow melts in a day or two. It is not like places where the snow stays on the ground from the day it falls til spring. Most of the time, it is gone quickly...just not every time.

The mountains in colorado sit west of the major cities and absorb all of the bad weather and cast what's called a "rain shadow" on Ft Collins/Denver/etc. If it weren't for the mountains to pick up 400 inches of snow a year, Denver WOULD be an extremely snowy place. However, the cities themselves are not any more snowy than most major cities in the US. There are usually a couple blizzards in spring, even in midwinter the snow does not pile up because of the intense rays from the ever shining sun.

In colorado you can have 4 seasons in one day, the snow usually melts pretty quickly if your not on the plains or in the foot hills. but from december- febuary and sometimes even march unexpected blizzards can come and pile 3 feet of snow on you in a few hours
