DENVER—Residents in the Denver area experienced a wintry Wednesday as a strong storm brought heavy snowfall to the mountains, impacting the morning commute. Winter Storm Warnings are currently in effect for the mountain regions, while Winter Weather Advisories cover the Denver metro area and the Interstate 25 corridor.
In the mountains, snowfall is expected to accumulate by as much as six inches above 10,000 feet.
