Late Spring Snowstorm Disrupts Colorado, Closes Schools and Affects Commuters
A significant late spring snowstorm has impacted Colorado, leading to school closures and travel disruptions. The storm, which began sweeping across the Rocky Mountains and into the High Plains, has brought nearly 2 feet (61 cm) of snow to several high-elevation towns. The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning, predicting an additional 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm) of snow in areas including Fort Collins, Boulder, Denver, and Castle Rock. The storm has caused slick roads and minor traffic accidents, though no serious injuries have been reported. The heavy snow has also led to concerns about snow-laden tree limbs potentially snapping, prompting warnings to avoid parking under trees.
