Yeah or even better when they are getting some big snowfall in NYC and they send out roving crews in 4WD TV trucks to check out what turns out to be an 8-inch "massive pounding of snow" storm. Yet a 2 ft snowstorm in Denver is met with "well those people live in cabins in the mountains, of course that's normal for them".

Yeah the dry part really sucks. Hopefully that is just temporary with La Nina cycles. But the warm part is nice. My biggest beef with the CO climate was Oct-Dec were in general just uglier times to be out. More summer, less not quite winter but still cold would be great.

I walked my dogs this afternoon and the weather is amazing.

Also, there was a little over an inch of snow on my lawn in Golden last Thursday (Thanksgiving). Although I know that doesn’t quality as Denver, it was definitely a measurable amount here, about 10 miles west of Downtown.

While walking any trail now, everyone's smiling, saying some variation of "gorgeous day, isn't it" with the response always being -big smile- "yes, but we need the moisture."

Maybe it's colorado style grin and bear it - It's spectacular out, but knowing we do need the snow.

I believe the phrase you're looking for is "essentially permanent."
