Denver, CO – A fierce blizzard hit Colorado, dropping historic snowfalls across multiple counties over a 96-hour period ending Thursday. Some towns, such as Parker in Douglas County and Ponderosa Park in Elbert County, saw snowfall totals exceeding 40 inches.
According to the National Weather Service Denver/Boulder, the snowfall began on November 5 and continued through November 9. Ponderosa Park recorded the highest accumulation at 41.5 inches, followed closely by Limon with 35.5 inches and Foxfield with 30.6 inches. Denver International Airport also reported significant snowfall, recording 20 inches over the period.
The storm disrupted travel and daily life as heavy snow buried roads and hindered visibility. Authorities warned residents to avoid non-essential travel and to prepare for possible road closures in affected areas.
Forecasters suggest the snowstorm might mark the beginning of an active winter season for Colorado, and they encourage residents to monitor weather updates closely.
