A major winter storm is currently impacting Colorado and New Mexico, causing heavy snowfall and significant travel disruptions. Colorado Governor Jared Polis has declared a disaster emergency and activated the National Guard as forecasters predict up to 30 inches of snow across various regions, particularly in Denver and southern Colorado. Highways are being closed, and many flights have been canceled or delayed, exacerbating travel challenges. In response to the storm, many school districts have canceled classes, and officials are warning residents to avoid non-essential travel due to dangerous conditions. The storm has been marked as one of the heaviest in recent years, with continued snowfall expected throughout the weekend.
