Cold air from Canada is blown there. Denver is a mile high as well, making it windy and chilly.

It snows in New York because in winter the temperature is cold enough for snow and the water content of the air is what is needed ot produce precipitation.

What is the average snowfall in Colorado?

First snow is generally mid-october to early november. Last snow is in mid-march to late-April. Snowiest months are January and February. This is too broad a question to answer, since Colorado is large and topography plays a big part in its climate..In the mountains, it can snow any day of the year..I have waken up to 2" of snow on my tent in early August. The first snow is generally in Mid to late September in the mountains and areas near Denver to the north.. most of the state receives snow until May 1, but the mountains continue getting snow into early June.. If you check the records at the Colorado climate center, snowiest months vary according to section of the state..most mountain areas are very snowy Dec-March.. near Denver March and April are snowiest..while in sw Colorado, Dec, Jan, Feb are snowiest..some of the heaviest snowstorms in Denver and the foothills nearby can get 3-6ft snowstorms in March and April. I have experienced two of them that large so far... IMPROVING THIS ANSWER actually in the denver metro area it usually snows October... not September. This year (2010) we are still awaiting out first snow.. it's sure to snow on Halloween though... always seems to. Last year (2009) our first snow was enough to close schools inluding colleges for two days in the Denver area. A few years ago it was lightly snowing into June. It really depends on the year, if its an El Nino year or not. 2009 was supposed to be one, and yes we did get a ton of snow. 2010 is supposed to be MUCH dryer. If your looking for skiing and such, know that many of the resorts make their own snow, and being at a higher altitude many of them are infact still getting snow.


Denver and Kansas City are at the same latitude but Denver's altitude is much higher Denver would be expected to have?

Lower average temperatures.


What part of America does it snow in?

All states have gotten snow in the past and almost all receive snow somewhere at some point in the winter. Florida is probably the only state where it is relatively common for the entire state to go without snow in a winter. Even in Hawaii, the tops of Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea routinely get a little bit of snow.

What is the white stuff in snow globes?

Original answer: asbestos. (Wrong.) Depending on the age of the snow globe and where it is made, the "white stuff" can be a number of things. Older snow globes sometimes used crushed egg shells to create the effect of snow. Snow globes or snow domes made overseas may use a plastic-like composite that is lightweight, but sinks in liquid. Some companies, notably SnowGlobeCentral in Denver, Colorado, are known for including a variety of confetti shapes with "snow" which can be made out of Mylar or similar material. They also use iridescent glitter dust and sparkles as options to traditional white "snow." Small bits of styrofoam will NOT work, as they will float to the surface.
