It's hot in Denver, but winter is just around the corner.

Temperatures in the Denver area soared into the low-90s again Tuesday.

The nine days above 90 degrees this month tied a record for the most days Denver temperatures have risen above 90 in September … and there are still two weeks left in the month.

The last time Denver experienced nine days at or above 90 degrees during the month of September was in 2005 -- and also in 1895.

After the September 2005 hot streak, that October saw a lot of snow … in fact, 9.6 inches of snow for the month, when the average is typically just four inches.

But that doesn’t mean we’ll repeat those statistics this year, and it doesn’t mean there will be lots of snow.

For example, while the winter of 2005 started out with a lot of snow, it did not end up that way.

The season ended with below-average snowfall, by about 25 inches.
