This Day In Weather History

 
In 1997, a 2-day blizzard invaded Colorado with accumulations ranging from around 15 inches to around 4 feet and drifts as high as 15 FEET. At the former Denver Stapleton Airport, nearly one foot of snow was measured on the 24th, with an additional 10 inches measured on the 25th. The blizzard forced the closure of Denver International Airport, which stranded around 4,000 people.
