On this date in Denver weather history:

In 2006: While metro Denver residents were still digging out from the heavy snowfall and blizzard that occurred on December 20-21, the second major winter storm in a week buried the city and the eastern foothills again in more deep snow. Heavy snowfall ranged from 1 to 2.5 feet in the foothills and from 6 to 18 inches across the city.

Another slow moving storm system centered over the Texas panhandle produced deep upslope flow over the high plains and against the Front Range Mountains. The storm produced blizzard conditions over the plains mainly south of Interstate 76. Interstate 70 as well as other roads and highways was closed from Denver to the Kansas line due to snow and blizzard conditions. Greyhound was forced to cancel all bus trips from Denver. The heaviest snow fell in and near the foothills and south of Denver over the Palmer Divide, where north winds sustained at speeds of 20 to 30 mph with gusts to 40 mph piled the snow into drifts 4 to 14 feet deep.

In the city, the heavy snowfall persisted for a total of 29 hours. Snowfall totals across metro Denver included: 17.5 inches at Ken Caryl; 15 inches 3 miles south-southeast of Morrison; 14 inches in Boulder and Lone Tree; 12 inches in Castle Rock and Highlands Ranch; 11 inches in Wheat Ridge; 10.5 inches in Littleton; 10 inches in Arvada, Broomfield, and Louviers; and 8.5 inches in Lakewood and Thornton. Officially, snowfall totaled 8.0 inches at Denver Stapleton.

North winds sustained to 25 mph with gusts to 32 mph produced some blowing snow at Denver International Airport. In the city, this second storm increased the total snowfall for the month to 29.4 inches, making the month the third snowiest on record.

In the foothills the snow fell at a rate of 3 to 4 inches an hour at times. Total snowfall in the foothills included: 30 inches near Genesee; 29.5 inches 12 miles northwest of Golden; 25 inches in Evergreen and near Bergen Park; 24 inches near Conifer; 23.5 inches 3 miles southwest of Golden and near Gold Hill; 23 inches near Jamestown; 22.5 inches in Rollinsville; 19.5 inches in Aspen Springs; 19 inches near Blackhawk; 18.5 inches at Nederland; 16 inches in Indian Hills, at Intercanyon, and in Eldora; 15.5 inches at Echo Lake; and 12 inches near Ralston Reservoir.
