Denver, Eastern Plains will be hit by up to 3 feet of snow

Another round of winter Weather will sweep across Colorado's Front Range and Eastern Plains on Fridaywith forecasters expecting treacherous road conditions and almost 90cm of snow in some areas.

Metro Denver and the southern foothills will see 7 to 14 inches of snow starting Friday morning through Saturday, with the heaviest snowfall along Interstate 70 and to the south.

“Travel will be impossible east and southeast of Denver,” National Weather Service forecasters said in a winter storm warning Thursday. “Do not travel or expect to travel in these locations until at least Saturday as heavy snowfall will continue long after this storm.”

People living in rural areas in eastern Douglas, Elbert, Lincoln and southern Washington counties should prepare to be stranded for several days, NWS forecasters said.

Historic snow accumulation is expected in Elbert and Lincoln counties, with snow reaching nearly 3 feet in some areas.

Subway riders can expect a difficult evening commute as the heaviest snowfall begins around midday and continues to fall at a rate of 1 to 2 inches per hour into the evening.

Colorado Department of Transportation officials urged motorists to avoid traveling east of Interstate 25 and south of Interstate 76 to the New Mexico and Kansas state lines due to “treacherously persistent adverse winter conditions.”
