What was the biggest snowfall in Colorado?
In December of 1913, a blizzard hit Colorado and dumped 45.7 inches of snow onto Denver, 53 in Estes Park, and 86 in Georgetown. It was devastating, causing several buildings and structures in Denver to collapse beneath the heavy precipitation. The community came together to help clear the streets, with hundreds of local men shoveling snow and hundreds of horse-drawn wagons hauling and dumping it around Civic Center Park.
