BOULDER — If Boulder gets as much snow in April as it got during that month last year, this season will become the snowiest on record, topping the 142.9 inches that were recorded in 1908-09.
“It’s definitely not over yet,” said Boulder meteorologist Matt Kelsch.
So far this season, Boulder has gotten 122.9 inches of snow — including the 11.6 inches of snow that fell with this week’s storm. That ranks as Boulder’s eighth-snowiest season, but Kelsch said an average April brings a foot of snow and last year brought 20.4 inches.
“The snowiest April on record had 44 inches, so you never know,” Kelsch said.
This snow season could move into seventh or sixth place in the snow total books with just a small amount of precipitation — 124.7 inches fell in the 1986-87 season and 128.3 inches fell in the 1972-73 season.
