As a potent late-season storm approaches, Colorado is preparing for what could be one of the most significant snow events of the year. Several cities, including Denver and Boulder, are expecting heavy, wet snowfall, with forecasts predicting accumulation of up to 20 inches in the mountains and a foot in lower areas. Transportation officials warn of hazardous road conditions, especially on the I-70 mountain corridor, while schools in affected regions may close due to safety concerns. As spring temperatures soared in recent days, the sudden shift to winter weather comes as a shock to residents, who had anticipated warmer conditions. With snow and rain expected to persist, communities across the state are urged to prepare for potential power outages and tree damage due to the significant weight of the snow.
