Per push or seasonal in Denver?
Rough math, labeled as an estimate: in a normal 49.0-inch winter at one push per 4 inches, a 2-car driveway needs about 12 pushes, or $960–$1,620 per push in total, versus $425–$635 seasonal. Last winter's 33.1 inches would have meant about 8 pushes. Read the contract: some seasonal plans cap visits (HomeGuide), others are unlimited (Angi). Seasonal contract guide.
Denver snowfall: last winter vs. this winter
| Denver | |
|---|---|
| Last winter (2025–26), actual | 33.1 in., 15.9 in. below the 1991–2020 normal of 49.0 in. (68% of normal). Note: ACIS has no 1991–2020 normal for this threaded record, so we compare against the NCEI normal for Denver International Airport (49.0 in.); some outlets use a different normal and report a different departure. Station: Denver Area (NOAA ACIS / NWS NOWData, WFO BOU), Jul 1–Jun 30 season. |
| This winter (2026–27), FORECAST | Dec–Feb temperature: Equal chances (no tilt toward above, near or below normal). Dec–Feb precipitation: Leans above normal (wetter): 33–40% chance. NOAA Climate Prediction Center seasonal outlook issued 2026-10-15 (outlook maps, GIS data). These are probabilities, not snowfall totals; CPC makes no inch forecast. Warmer-leaning winters can still bring big storms. CPC updates the outlook monthly (normally the third Thursday). |

Denver snow rules homeowners should know
- Sidewalk deadline: Residences must clear sidewalks (including adjacent ADA ramps and bus stops) by the next day after snow stops; businesses must start immediately. After a time-stamped notice, residences get 24 hours (businesses 4) before a re-check and a potential $150 fine. Source: City and County of Denver, Snow Removal
- Where to put snow: Don't push snow into the street, where it can make gutter ice worse. Put it on lawn areas, or move it to a sunny spot where it can melt, as long as that doesn't create another hazard. Source: City and County of Denver
- Residential street plowing: When deployed, residential plows run between 3 a.m. and 3 p.m., take one pass down the center of each side street, shave the top few inches and don't expose bare pavement or spread de-icer. Source: City and County of Denver
