DENVER — Residents of the Denver metro area woke up February 25 to a blanket of snow, the largest two-day total since April of 2016.
Armed with measuring tape and rulers, Coloradans took to their yards to confirm what the National Weather Service reported: over a foot of snow in many areas.
According to meteorologist Ben Reppert, it was Denver's seventh largest February snowstorm since 1874.
Below is a time-lapse video of the overnight accumulation in Highlands Ranch.
