Bitter cold and widespread snow has impacted the Front Range. Saturday's low tumbled to below zero, and temperatures will plunge through the weekend to some of the coldest weather we have seen in a few years in February.
A winter weather advisory will be in effect from 5 p.m. Saturday through 11 a.m. Sunday. Denver will likely see 2 to 4 inches of snow, mainly Saturday afternoon through Sunday midday. In the mountains, 6 to 12 inches of snow will accumulate through the weekend, creating high avalanche danger. Backcountry travel is not recommended.
