Snow Totals coming in to the News5 Weather Center...

10AM Snow Totals
Some of the snow reports News5 has gathered as of 10AM MDT on 10/29.

Heavy snow banding in the last hour will bump these totals up soon - Pueblo has seen a radar estimated 2" as you sit under what is effectively a thunderstorm with snow instead of rain. Similar heavy snow ongoing in Canon City. To share a measurement with us, email weather@koaa.com! To measure: ideally, use a snowboard. If you don't have one, find a surface you know is flat and smooth and ideally sheltered from the wind. Insert a ruler or yardstick perpendicular to the ground. If sending multiple measurements, mark the location with a flag or stake.

8:00 p.m. Saturday | Road conditions are deteriorating as temperatures drop after sunset. The heaviest snow will arrive to southern Colorado overnight and Sunday morning.

5:30 p.m. Saturday | For the first half of Saturday, the snow has been heaviest in the mountains and the Denver Metro area.

At 4:54 p.m., Denver International Airport reported on X that they were experiencing a "ground delay averaging about 158 minutes due to snow and ice."
