Colorado Hit by Largest May Snowstorm in 23 Years, Disrupting Travel
Colorado experienced its largest May snowstorm in 23 years, with Denver and surrounding areas receiving significant snowfall. The storm, driven by Arctic air, resulted in snow depths of 10-15cm in Denver and up to 70cm in Estes Park. Denver International Airport faced hundreds of flight delays and cancellations. The snowstorm is unusual for May, as snowfall typically occurs in February and March. A rapid warming trend followed, quickly melting the snow and transforming the landscape.
