In general, as you go the further east and northeast of the higher terrain, seasonal snowfall drops off dramatically. Four observations are taken per day at this location.Īs you can see, the current official observation at DIA has moved several miles to the east and northeast of the previous two locations. In the Fall of 2007, the official snowfall observations were moved to Denver International Airport (DIA). In reality, the Seasonal Average is probably closer to 56' as shown in the map below. As a result, the NCEI 30 Year Average (1991-2020) has dropped to 49' but is likely underestimated, due to only one observation taken per day. Currently, only one observation is taken per day at Central Park which remains a Cooperative Observer (COOP) site. Keep in mind, when the National Weather Service took observations from 1950 through the Spring of 1999, four snowfall observations were taken each day. They were located across downtown Denver (1882 to 1949), Stapleton Airport (1950 to August 2007) which is now called Central Park and Denver International Airport (September 2007 to Present). Since snowfall records began in 1882, there have been three main locations for Official Snowfall Observations. History of Snowfall Observations at Denver, Colorado
