The snow doesnt usually stay on the ground very long. Unless you go during a snow storm, the majority of the snow usually melts the same day or the next. The temperatures are cold in the morning but then the sun always comes out and they weather gets well above freezing so the snow begins to melt but then it gets cold at night again so all the melted snow runoff freezes so be careful driving
Sometimes the snow melts. Not always. Two years ago it stayed below 30 degrees for nearly a month and nothing melted. Since everyone is so used to having solar snow removal, parking lots and sidewalks were a nightmare. So, in reality. it melts if the weather stays above 30 degrees for several hours during the day. Otherwise it stays and stays and stays.
everyone said it already but since denver does get a lot of snow, our plows usually do a pretty good job of clearing the streets, chances are you will not get trapped anywhere if that s a concern of yours.
What 510 said it true. We have 300+ days of sunshine and very low humidity , so snow melts and evaporates very quickly. But expect low temps. in January. A good local news and weather ishttp://www.9news.com
