A classic snowstorm dumps moisture across eastern Colorado and the Front Range

Our November storm is still alive and we expect heavy snow through Saturday morning. The storm isn’t a record breaker so far, but it was the largest multi-day November snowstorm Denver has seen in 30 years. Since Tuesday, Denver International Airport has accumulated 13.8 inches of snow. The last time we had this much snow was on more than two days – in November 1994 – on the 13th and 14th of that year.

An additional 6 to 9 inches of snow is expected in the Denver metro area and another 6 to 12 inches in the foothills of Jefferson County and the Palmer Divide by Saturday morning. Travel will be difficult and impossible across eastern and southern Colorado through Saturday.

Winter storm warnings and advisories will remain in effect through Saturday morning, with snow accumulations slowly easing.

Snow amounts in the Denver metro area ranged from 9 to 20 inches of snow early Friday evening.

Areas of southern Colorado received anywhere from 1 to over 3 feet of snow, with more to come.
