A storm system brought periods of moderate to heavy snow to parts of the North Central Mountains, Front Range Foothills, Urban Corridor with blizzard conditions developing over the parts of the Northeast Plains of Colorado.  The combination of snow and wind reportedly reduced the visibilities to just a few hundred feet at times, and resulted in several road closures.  Across eastern Elbert, Lincoln, Logan, Phillips, Sedgwick and Washington Counties, gusty northerly winds ranged from 35 to 55 mph producing extensive blowing and drifting snow, ranging from 1 to 4 feet in depth.  Storm totals in those areas were difficult to measure but estimated to range from 3 to 5 inches.
Road closures included:  Interstate 70, east of Aurora to the Kansas Stateline; U.S. Highway 24, from Limon to Colorado Springs; Colorado Highway 94 between Punkin Center and Enoch; U.S. Highway 40/287 between Limon and Kit Carson; Colorado Highway 71 from east of Fort Morgan to Limon; U.S. Highway 34 from Brush to Yuma.
In the mountain and foothills, the heaviest amounts generally occurred north of Interstate 70.  Storm totals included:  13 inches at Estes Park, 12 inches at Genesee and Red Feather Lakes, 11 inches at Glen Haven; 10.5 inches at Livermore, 9 inches, 4 miles west-southwest of Eldorado Springs; 8.5 inches at Coal Creek Canyon and near Crescent Village; 8 inches near Evergreen, 7 inches at Drake and Bear Lake; with 6 inches at Eldora Ski Area, Idaho Springs, Grandby, Gross Reservoir and Nederland.
Along the Urban Corridor and adjacent plains, lesser storm totals from 1 to 4 inches were observed.
