"Colorado Snowstorm: Denver Buries Under 3 Feet of Snow, Tornadoes Spawn in Central US"

A snowstorm is slamming Denver and the Front Range, with record rainfall transitioning into heavy snow and a Winter Storm Warning in effect until Friday morning. Travel is strongly discouraged in the high country and will be impossible in many areas, with snowfall rates potentially exceeding 1 inch per hour. Additional snowfall of 8-12 inches is expected in most neighborhoods around Denver, while areas in Douglas County and Jefferson County could see 10-15 inches. Despite the heavy snow, blizzard conditions are not expected, and once the snow ends, mostly dry but cool conditions will prevail through the weekend.
