It's funny what easterners believe about Denver. We don't get a two foot snowfall every year. In fact, you will note that the month with the highest snowfall is March, with an average of about 12 inches, TOTAL.
Your one article does not negate the many snows we've had that have never merited a whisper on the national news. Meanwhile, any big snowfall in NYC or DC is hyped to the limit. In point of fact, in some months, the average snowfall in NYC is higher than that of Denver.
You simply can't argue that Denver doesn't get more snow than NYC even your own data shows you get 2 times as much and because of this you have more of the infrastrucure in place to deal with snow than we do. Therefore when you do get the big ones it is easier for you to handle.
In addition your data shows one month where NYC out paces Denver in snow, and that is by 1 measly inch. The greatest average diffence is Denver walloping NYC by 8 inches!!

December, Jan, and Feb are very similar in both cities.

So in order for you to average 2 times as much snow as us you get hit harder in the other months and it snows earlier and later.
Again since you average twice as much snow as we do you are far more prepared to handle the big ones. That's why it ain't big national news when you get 2 feet of snow.

It's news here. With 24 inches, the airport is closed, most offices are closed, all schools are closed, and it's a mess. However, no one else cares. BTW, that article you posted was about the December 06 blizzard which was a big one, even for here.
