While we had just a slushy sprinkle of snow on the windshield this morning, it’s supposed to start really storming in earnest this morning:<\/p>\n

The National Weather Service in Denver has issued a Blizzard Warning<\/strong>… which is in effect from 6 am this morning to 6 am MDT Friday. The Winter Storm Warning has been cancelled.<\/p>\n

Snow will develop across northeastern Colorado this morning and will be heavy at times… especially this afternoon and evening. North to northeast winds of 20 to 30 mph with gusts to around 45 mph will produce blizzard conditions and considerable drifting snow on the plains by afternoon<\/strong>. The worst conditions are expected to be in areas south of a line from Boulder to Akron.<\/p>\n

Total snow accumulations by late Thursday night will range from 6 to 12 inches across the northeast plains… with 8 to 16 inches of snow from the Denver Metro area to Limon<\/strong>… and one to two feet in Douglas and western Elbert counties. The snow and prolonged winds will also produce considerable drifting of snow.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
