Remember when it didn’t snow for two months?
After yet another round of February snowfall on Monday evening, Denver officially picked up another 3 inches of snow at the city’s Stapleton Airport observation site and 1.8 inches of snow at Denver International Airport, .
Since the start of February, Denver has received 12.7 inches of snow at the Stapleton site. That makes this the second snowiest first 10 days of February on record. Only 2012 was snowier, .
The Stapleton Airport observation site is the city’s most centrally-located weather observation site.
This is now Denver's 2nd-snowiest start to February on record. Stapleton got 3.0" last night, so they're at 12.7".

At Denver’s official climate site at Denver International Airport, 10.8 inches of snow has fallen so far this February, a tick less than Stapleton’s figure, but still good enough for 40.7 inches of seasonal snowfall, through Monday. That’s also about 8 inches above the season-to-date average.
Official snowfall in Denver over the past 24 hours is 1.8". Of course many areas saw more. Anyway, our total for the season is now 40.7" which is almost 8" above normal through Feb 11. @ChrisCBS4

This Snowbruary may not be done quite yet, either. A few snow showers could impact Wednesday evening’s commute across the metro area, and some computer forecast models are showing more snow later this weekend or early next week.
Denver’s , by the way, came back in 2015, when 22.4 inches of snow fell. Based on how this February has played out, that could be in reach.
