We don't have to tell you — this winter is an anomaly.
State of play: Above-average temperatures and below-average snowfall in Denver are setting new records even though the length of the winter season holds steady, according to a new analysis from Climate Central.
Zoom in: Denver's recent winters average 92 days, two more than the 1970-1997 period.
Winter now starts a week later at Nov. 29 and runs a week longer to Feb. 28, the analysis found.
Stunning stat: New York, Boston and Philadelphia received more snow in 24 hours from the past weekend storm than Denver has seen all season, 9News meteorologist Chris Bianchi reports.
Denver's snowfall this year is just 13.4 inches.
The big picture: Denver's trend defies the national picture. Winters are now shorter in 80% of the 245 U.S. cities analyzed in the report.
