Denver braces for October snowstorm
October 28, 2009
(ChattahBox) — While the rest of the nation particularly the snow skiers will be excited to here lot’s more snow is heading Denver’s way. In the foothills, up to 24 inches of snow is possible, while higher elevations could get 3 feet. Meanwhile, as much as 18 inches is expected in parts of metro Denver, over the next two day. A cold front and trough dipping down from the north combined with a low pressure system moving over southern Colorado will combine creating the state’s first major snowstorm of the season.
The warning issued from the National Weather Service sums things up:
Residents should prepare for a long period of winter storm conditions with difficult or impossible travel on Wednesday and Thursday. Expect conditions to deteriorate considerably during the morning Wednesday. Consider completing travel before the storm if possible. If you must travel Wednesday or Thursday…take along a winter survival kit.
