If you thought that you had a lot of snow to shovel this weekend, you did!! Turns out the snow we just got in Denver was a record amount!

It was 11th-largest snowstorm in Denver since recordkeeping began in 1882, according to the National Weather Service.

In Denver, it snowed 75 of the 88 hours between 6 p.m. Tuesday and 10 a.m. Saturday. Denver International Airport measured 20 inches of snow, which marks about a third of the average snowfall we see per year at the airport.

It was the third-largest November snowstorm on record for Denver, and the largest November snowstorm since 1983, when 21.5 inches of snow fell in Denver from Nov. 26-27.

So we’re good on snow for awhile then, right?
