Put it in the record books.
By the National Weather Service’s standard of one inch of snow on the ground, Denver had a white Christmas.
According to the Weather Service’s branch in Boulder, Denver International Airport had one inch of measurable snow on the ground Monday from the 2.3 inches it received during Saturday’s storm.
That means the city had its 16th white Christmas in the past 30 years, and 45th in the past 118 years.
“It will go down as measurable snow for Christmas Day,” said Kyle Fredin, a National Weather Service in Boulder meteorologist.
The heaviest snowfall on Christmas Day in Denver was 7.8 inches, which occurred in 2007.
The most snow ever recorded on the ground in Denver on Christmas Day, , was 24 inches measured after the Christmas Eve blizzard of 1982.
