DENVER (KDVR) — Signs of snow are slowly creeping into the forecast for the Colorado mountains, Foothills and Denver metro as early as next week. So we decided to take a look at what last winter brought to our state.

The 2019-2020 Winter ended early and left the Southern Mountains with below normal snowfall and in severe drought. Overall, the hot, early end to Winter set Colorado up for an active wildfire season.

In stark contrast, the 2018-2019 Winter unleashed the biggest avalanche cycle in state history after a 14-day, 3-storm complex of heavy snow including the “bomb cyclone”.

Despite our Easter bunny failing to watch your weather forecast last night and hiding eggs before it snowed, we had a blast making a festive snowman while we took a break from the longest egg hunt ever! Haha!
