Rain, snow and wind - it must be November in Colorado.  Our look back at today in Denver weather history reflects those three weather conditions as one might expect as they do seem to be quite common this time of year.

From the 5th to the 6th:

In 1938…heavy snowfall totaled 7.5 inches over downtown Denver.  North winds were sustained to 16 mph with gusts to 19 mph on the 5th.

From the 5th to the 7th:

In 1918…rain was mixed with and changed to snow…which became heavy and totaled 8.1 inches in downtown Denver. North winds were sustained to 21 mph with gusts to 23 mph.

On the 6th:

In 1962…west winds gusted to 55 mph…briefly reducing the visibility to 1 1/2 miles in blowing dust at Stapleton Airport.  The strong winds blew all day.
 
In 1989…high winds to 62 mph were recorded in Boulder. Northwest winds gusted to 33 mph at Stapleton International Airport.
 
In 1991…strong westerly Chinook winds blew into metro Denver with gusts to 88 mph recorded at Rollinsville and to 51 mph in Boulder.  Later…northeast winds with gusts of 30 to 40 mph were common across all of metro Denver behind a cold front…which produced only 0.2 inch of snowfall at Stapleton International Airport.
