A low pressure system pushing down across the western United States produced a potent winter storm for Colorado. Heavy wet snow fell across much of south-central CO, along and west of the I-25 corridor. The storm resulted in significant travel impacts across the area, along with power outages in both El Paso and Fremont Counties. Over parts of the higher elevations, snow totals for this storm measured in feet, rather than inches. Even at the end of the event, the area continues to be beset by patchy freezing fog, lingering snow showers, and slick, wet roads. Below is our Public Information Statement, containing snow total reports from the last 48 hours (as of midday on Friday, 3/15).
