00:00I am about to put the burr in September because some U.S. cities do not wait for winter to see

00:08their first snow. Denver, Colorado tops the list. The Mile High City has seen September snow dozens

00:16of times since records began with its earliest measurable snow on September 3rd, 1961. Further

00:23north up I-25 is Billings, Montana, no stranger to early snow either with multiple September

00:29storms in its history. And further to the west in Salt Lake City, Utah, they've logged September

00:34snows thanks to its high elevation in nearby mountains. In the Dakotas, both Rapid City,

00:40South Dakota and Fargo, North Dakota have also seen September snowfalls, though Rapid City is the more

00:45frequent candidate. So while September snow isn't guaranteed for these cities, it's always a

00:51possibility proving that summer's end does not always mean a slow fade into fall and these early

00:56snows aren't just records, they can disrupt travel and daily routines, a swift reminder

01:02of how fast seasons can shift. For AccuWeather, I'm meteorologist Tony Lawback.
