Spring Snow
- PHOTO OF THE DAY
Spring Snow
On May 6, 2026, heavy, wet snow fell over Lakewood, Colorado, in a late-season snowstorm. While it's not uncommon for the state to see snowfall in May, the storm was one of the largest in Colorado's history. Denver was hit with almost six inches, Boulder saw 11 inches, and the Colorado mountains were hit with over two feet—all of which was much-needed after a period of drought throughout the winter and early spring. The biggest May snowstorm on record in Colorado was in 1898 at 15.5 inches.Animals
