Mothers Day snowstorm
Snow accumulations from the Mother's Day storm in Colorado, according to the National Weather Service, include:
Allens Park — 23.5 inches
Bailey — 9.5 inches
Bergen Park — 12 inches
Black Hawk — 16.8 inches
Breckenridge — 10.9 inches
Broomfield — 6.2 inches
Castle Pines — 6 inches
Cheesman Reservoir — 7 inches
Conifer — 16 inches
Eldorado Springs — 11 inches
Elizabeth — 7 inches
Evergreen — 13 inches
Federal Heights — 6 inches
Fort Collins — 6.9 inches
Four Corners, Larimer County — 29 inches
Genesee — 16.6 inches
Greeley — 2.8 inches
Green Mountain Reservoir, Summit County — 8 inches
Highlands Ranch — 7 inches
Hugo — 3.5 inches
Karval — 2 inches
Ken Caryl — 7.8 inches

Pingree Park — 28 inches
Silver Plume — 16.8 inches
Thornton — 4.3 inches
Thurman — 6 inches
Virginia Dale — 16 inches
Westminster — 6.7 inches
Wheat Ridge — 5.3 inches
The storm shut down Interstate 80 through southern Wyoming and into Nebraska. Some drivers abandoned their vehicles while stranded truckers filled up rest area parking lots along the highway, which averages more than 6,000 trucks per day. Snowy conditions appear to have contributed to at least one fatal crash southwest of Denver. The snow caused minimal problems at Denver International Airport, canceling about 60 of its 1,600 daily flights and delaying both arrivals and departures in the morning. The airport also briefly lost power, stalling some escalators and elevators. Airport spokeswoman Julie Smith said a backup generator spared the airport any major problems.

Snow showers will continue over the Front Range foothills through late afternoon. Up to an inch of snow can be expected from the heavier snow showers in the foothills from Boulder County southward. Across the I-25 urban corridor and adjacent plains...scattered snow showers can be expected with only a dusting of snow possible. Most of those showers will be south of Highway 34.
