Snow measurements are taken at several locations around the former National Weather Service facility on East Smith Road (just east of Quebec St). The average of all the measurements is used to determine the official snow depth for Denver. This measurement is recorded daily at approximately 6 a.m. If snow falls at the measurement site after 6 a.m. it won’t be recorded until the next day. For example, if 10 inches of snow falls between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. on December 15th, and no snow fell on December 14th, the official weather report for Denver will indicate no snow on December 15th and 10 inches on December 16th.
