So far this season (as of March 25th, 2018) Grand Junction, Colorado has received 9 inches of snow. The normal snowfall through March 25th is 17.5 inches, meaning we are currently 8.5 inches below normal. The normal seasonal average is 19.1 inches, which means we would need an additional 10.1 inches of snow through June 30th to match that number.

Our average last snowfall date is April 3, although we've had snow fall as late as May 11th before (which happened back in 1946)!
