Winter weather in Denver
Denver's heaviest snows usually come from upslope storms, when moist easterly winds push air up against the Front Range. Those storms can be intense but are often followed quickly by sunshine, which helps clear roads.
Totals can vary sharply across the metro — the southern and western suburbs and foothills often get more than central Denver. Search with your own ZIP for the best forecast point.

Frequently asked questions
Is Denver Public Schools closed tomorrow?
SnowCall cannot tell you whether school is closed — only the district can. The estimate above is a forecast-based probability. For official closures and delays, check dpsk12.org, the district's alert system, or local news.
How much snow does it take to close Denver Public Schools?
There is no published snowfall number. The model treats Denver as a "snow country" area, where about 7" of overnight snow, 0.15" of ice, or a morning wind chill near -25°F makes a closure roughly a coin flip. Timing, temperature and wind can move that a lot.
Where does this forecast come from?
Hourly data from Open-Meteo for Denver (39.74, -104.99), four global weather models, and the National Weather Service's gridded snow and ice forecast and alerts.
