Instead of a traditional winter storm on Monday, hail, graupel, and rain covered the Denver metro area while there was zero snow. That type of storm coverage is usually a signal that the snow season is winding to a close.
The amount of snow in April and May has declined by 23% in Denver over the last 30 years. More than five feet less snow since 1994 compared to 1964-1993. The polar vortex over the north pole would normally start to speed up and tighten by mid-March as the middle latitudes warm. That reduces the chance of a cold outbreak during the spring months, but this season the polar vortex is still very slow and unorganized. That does slightly increase the chances for cold arctic air to spill all the way down to Colorado.
