Night Time in Denver

We all know it snows a lot in Denver, but it is also very sunny.  If you had to guess how much it snows here, what would you guess?  1 inch, 3 inches, 6 inches, 12 inches, 24 inches?  According to the National Weather Bureau, here’s what we saw last year…

last year was light with 38.1 inches.  Normal is over 60 inches.  That’s 5 feet of snow ladies and gentlemen!  Now you have a parking lot or a HOA lot here in Denver that you call people when you need it plowed?  That may have worked last year, but as an overall strategy, it isn’t too solid! 

Normally, you would want to have your commercial snow removal company in place by November because that is a month we tend to risk getting bigger storms.  We are always willing to work with you, but it’s nice to have your plan of attack in place before November.

Here are the last 30 years record for snowfall here in the Denver Metro area.  (These readings are taken by DIA, so if you live up in the foothills or even in Lakewood, Golden, Boulder, or Littleton…  your numbers are generally substantially higher)
