Major snowstorm in Colorado closes schools, offices and highways

Denver is expected to receive up to 2ft of snow as city rolls out the plows and airport braces for delays and cancellations

A major snowstorm has hit Colorado, closing numerous schools and government offices on Thursday and shutting down sections of highways leading to the Denver area as meteorologists warned of difficult-to-nearly-impossible travel.

“Our city hasn’t seen a storm like this in a few years,” Denver’s mayor, Mike Johnston, posted Wednesday on X, formerly known as Twitter.
