Few states in America get the sheer volume of snow that the Centennial State does on an annual basis, with Colorado cities along the Front Range and on the Western Slope receiving prodigious amounts of powder each winter.
While most Colorado cities see an exceptional amount of snow each year certain locals are on the receiving end of more white stuff than others, with places like Fort Collins, Westminster and Colorado Springs expected to get the most snow days this winter.

Which Colorado Cities Will See The Most Snow This Winter?
Leading the charge this winter when it comes to snow day projections is Larimer County college town, Fort Collins, which has 72.11 snow days projected this winter, beating out places like Westminster (71.43 snow days), Lakewood (69.82 snow days), Arvada (65.44 snow days) and Colorado Springs (65.11 snow days) among the snowiest places in the state, according to the NWS projections.
On the flip side, smaller cities like Pueblo (19.06 snow days), Grand Junction (24.60 snow days) and Longmont (30.65 snow days) are the Colorado cities expected to get the fewest number of snow days this winter, illustrating the wide gulf in snow totals that are found across the Centennial State each winter.
