From The Colorado Springs Gazette (Lance Benzel):
The last time [Colorado Springs] went this long without snow in autumn was 2008, and it ended with a Nov. 27 storm bearing 6/10ths of an inch. You can thank La Nina for the anomaly, meteorologists say…
According to [Kathy Torgerson, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Pueblo], La Nina years generally end with average snowfall in the Pikes Peak Region. It’s just that snow comes packed into larger storms that visit the region every once in a while rather than daily, she said.
