Colorado Weather Icon Goes Missing, Returns To Denver After 4 Days
By Chris Spears
DENVER (CBS4) - Annie might have sung about this but it took four days for it to happen.
Late Sunday, after 100 hours of cold and damp weather, the sun finally returned to the skies over Denver.
Local meteorologist and climatologist Bob Henson took the time to share a weather stat that is pretty amazing for a land-locked location like Denver which is roughly 1,000 miles away from the nearest major source of atmospheric moisture.
Denver International Airport reported overcast skies for a period of 100 hours beginning at 3 p.m. on Wednesday and lasting through 7 p.m. on Sunday. During that time the temperature stayed between 31°F and 42°F with occasional rain and snow.
Denver's normal high for late April and early May is in the middle 60s with a normal low in the upper 30s.
The unsettled stretch of weather brought 0.95 inches of water and 3.5 inches of snow to Denver.
