<p>@woahika, DU clears the sidewalks pretty quickly on campus. You can access web cams at ww.du.edu and I typically take a look daily and last winter I followed when it snowed. Snow on campus lasted 2-3 days and then it often was melted and gone. We live on the East Coast and it seemed like we got more snow than DU/Denver (I’m not talking the mountains). There can be some pretty cold days strung together, but my son didn’t bring any winter coat with him. He ended up buying a North Face jacket before going to DU’s Winter Carnival at Keystone mountain, and then almost always just wore the zippered lining that he would take out of the jacket. The weather nicer than people envision. Denver gets 300 days of sunshine.</p>
