No-snow November continues into Dec.

Denver typically sees its first flakes of the season fall in mid-october. Through the end of November, Denver should pick up, on average, 12.5 inches of snow. Neither of those things has happened this year, and nothing is in the near-term forecast to change things up.

Denver has not seen any measurable snow this season and is breaking records for the latest first snow and for its streak of consecutive days without measurable snow. Weather records, no matter how arbitrary they may be, are kept to have a reference for anomalous events.

Well, this snow season is certainly shaping up to be anomalous.

Denver already has broken the record for the latest first snow on record. The old record, which stood for more than 85 years, was broken on Nov. 21. The top 10 records for the latest first snows all occurred within a week of each other (they occurred between Nov. 1421).

This year’s new record already has eclipsed the latest date by more than a week and there is no snow in sight.

Another lack-of-snow record is approaching in Denver: The longest streak without measurable snow in the city. The record longest snowless streak in Denver is 235 days back in 1887, which occurred between March 5 and Oct. 25.

The last time we had measurable snow in Denver was back on April 22 — 223 days ago.

Top five longest snowless streaks in Denver 235 days:

March 5-Oct. 25, 1887

227 days:

March 27-Nov. 8, 1888

224 days:

March 23-Nov. 2, 1889

223 days:

April 22current, 2021

219 days:

April 5-Nov. 9, 1886

The forecast does not look great concerning snow in Denver, or in Colorado for that matter.

A stubborn ridge of high pressure, which is eerily similar to the setup last summer, has set up and won’t budge through the week. That means warm, dry and breezy conditions are expected. High temperatures on the Eastern Plains could near record levels a couple of times this week.

The next chance for snow moves into the state this weekend as a few minor snow showers may develop. A larger change in the pattern may come early next week as a few models are showing a nice mountain snowstorm moving in with the possibility of snow in Denver around that same time.

If the weekend comes and goes Denver without snow, the area will have gone 229 days without snow, securing the second spot for snowless streaks.
