    First snow · Colorado

    When is the first snow in Colorado?

    Colorado’s first snow usually lands first in Denver, around October 21, and last in Grand Junction, around November 12.

    Colorado’s first snow hits Denver before the leaves have finished their whole show, and nobody there acts surprised.
