On a 75 degree day at the end of October, my mind started to wander about the wonderful weather we have in Denver.  I often get questioned about the climate of the area.  In Denver, we have it pretty darn good!

  • I’ve golfed every month of the year.  Not every year, but many times
  • Last year I shoveled my driveway 6 times.  That was more than the previous couple of years combined.  Most snow showers in Denver drop only a few inches, and it will melt off within a day or two!
  • The Average precipitation for the Denver area is less than 12 inches per year
  • The climate is very dry, and not as harsh as the humidity filled mid-west, and east coast.

The Rocky Mountains, and world class skiing are less that 2 hours away.  The mountains act as a barrier for the weather fronts.  Most storms hit the mountains, drop their snow, bounce over the Denver area, and pummel the mid-west!

I’ve posted a few great photos of the Mountains in the winter.  It is truly one of the most beautiful sights in the world!  Take a look by clicking the “Denver Photos link” at the top of this page!
