During the night, a steady pelting began to autumn along the Colorado Front Range.  By early on morning, the pelting had changed to snowfall and, yesteryear belatedly morning, a blizzard raged along the urban corridor.  The strong wintertime tempest brought a tape depression line per unit of measurement area of 975 mb to Pueblo together with air current gusts equally high equally 97 mph inward Colorado Springs (another record).  Thunder claps accompanied the heavy snowfall hither inward Littleton.

In Metro Denver, air current gusts convey reached fourscore mph together with the combination of high winds together with depression visibility unopen Denver International Airport.  While Denver may croak solely v inches of snowfall, nosotros expression upward to 10 inches inward western Littleton, where the terrain is a combat higher.  Needless to say, the depth of the snowfall volition hold upward less of an number than the strong, gusty air current which has already caused extensive tree impairment together with ability outages together with volition threaten travelers together with livestock amongst deep drifts together with a deadly air current chill.
