When’s the last time it snowed on Halloween in Denver?

Growing up in Colorado, it felt like it always snowed on Halloween, but it turns out it’s pretty rare, at least in Denver!

Based on National Weather Service records, it has only snowed 22 times in Denver on Halloween since 1882, leaving about a 12 percent chance of snow, historically.

In recent years, it’s been even less…Denver has only seen trace amounts of snow in 2018 and 2007. The last measurable snowfall was on Halloween in 2002 with 1.2 inches.

2025 likely won’t be the year to break the trend either. Although the big day is still a couple of weeks out, forecast models show no precipitation on the way to our state. Again, this could change as we get closer, but as of right now, there is no reason to go buy a winter coat that matches your costume!
