Colorado braces for heavy spring snow as Denver expects 3–6 inches

A spring snowstorm moved through Colorado, bringing rain in Denver before turning to heavy snow and slick roads. A jackknifed semi on I-70 slowed traffic, and Denver and Aurora announced Wednesday school closures with many Front Range districts following. Denver is projected to accumulate 3–6 inches by Wednesday, while northern and central mountains see heavier totals (Estes Park ~20 inches, Rabbit Ears Pass >1 foot). CDOT plans about 100 snowplows; travelers should expect slick conditions and possible further freeze warnings after the storm.

These durable, maintenance-friendly solutions evolved from early glare-blocking hoods and gas-lit signals to today’s LEDs, improving visibility and reducing snow-related outages.
