In #Boulder this morning - trees are weighted by the heavy, wet snow. You can see just how slushy areas are. Tons of cars left behind, too. @DenverChannel pic.twitter.com/GkuiPCqSAo

It's all snow at our office in Boulder now! Huge flakes coming down hard. The majority of eastern Boulder County has now switched to snow. Fort Collins, Greeley, and DIA will stay as rain for quite a while. #COwx pic.twitter.com/ZZ9UY4lGLm
