DENVER ( KDVR ) — Even though Denver was in the 50s through Christmas, other parts of Colorado saw as much as half a foot of snow on Wednesday.
Heading into the holidays, the chances of seeing a white Christmas were unlikely. Denver was warmer than some cities in Texas and California on Christmas Eve, and while there were storms by Christmas Day, the city was only left with rain.
