A historic winter storm has struck Colorado, resulting in significant snowfall and travel chaos across the region. Denver experienced up to three feet of snow, leading to widespread power outages affecting over 16,000 residents. Governor Polis declared a disaster emergency and activated the National Guard to assist with relief efforts. Major highways remain closed, particularly in eastern Colorado, as travelers have been stranded due to treacherous conditions. Snowfall totals have varied, with southern Colorado seeing impressive accumulations of over two feet in some areas. While the winter storm is expected to taper off, warmer temperatures and sunshine are on the horizon for the coming days.
