Nearly 400 CBS4 Viewers Still Vying To Win Our Guess Denver's First Snow Contest

Written by Meteorologist Chris Spears

DENVER (CBS4) - If you told me two months ago that when Halloween arrives we'd still be waiting on our first measurable snow in Denver, I probably would've laughed and said you think?

But alas here we are rolling into the month of November with forecast highs on Sunday climbing into the lower 70s.

CBS4 received 2,288 entries when we hosted our "Guess Denver's First Snow Contest" at the end of August and beginning of September.

As of October 30 we still have 380 contestants in the running for the prize, which is two tickets on Southwest Airlines.

At this time there's no snow in the 5-day forecast but our "Plus 4 More" feature shown daily during the 10 p.m. newscast is starting to look interesting.

The first measurable snow in Denver will occur when the official weather station at Denver International Airport measures snowfall that totals 0.1 inches or greater.

Stay tuned for the first measurable snow of the season in Denver, and if you're still in the running for our contest, good luck!
