Best Answer

Boulder, located in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, has a special climate, almost its own microclimate. Moisture gets trapped there, which is why it snows frequently. However, since the city is at such a high elevation, and the fact that Boulder receives 300 days of sun a year, the snow melts quickly. The snow never melts in Iowa.
