While Cheyenne continues to break records for snowfall in late May, here's a demoralizing statistic: since 1883, it has snowed here 16 times during the month of June.
Two days before Thanksgiving in 1979, an arctic squall dumped over two feet of snow on the Capital City. The whiteout set records for the snowiest single day (19.8 inches on November 20th) and most total snowfall (25.6 inches) ever recorded from a single storm.
