It was 80 degrees on Monday, but there will be half a foot or more of snow Wednesday: Denver in spring is shaping up to have more wild twists than a soap opera!
A powerful cold front is driving eastward Wednesday, switching heavy rain over to snow from Colorado and Wyoming to Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin. There are winter storm warnings and winter weather advisories for most of the region. The bull's eye of snow looks to be north and west of Denver where the east-facing slopes could get 10 to 20 inches. Another bull's eye will be around Minneapolis, where locals could see 5 to 10 inches of snow.
