DENVER — This storm system has hammered the northern and central mountains and hit the metro area pretty hard as well!
Winter Storm Warnings will expire for the mountains along and north of I-70 after the storm dumped 1 to 3 feet of new snow! Along with the snow, strong winds have made travel difficult to impossible in the high country.
