An early November winter storm is hammering parts of the metro Denver area, northern Colorado and eastern Plains Friday, making travel difficult, closing schools and snarling flights at Denver International Airport.
The National Weather Service in Boulder is forecasting heavy snow expected to start Friday morning, with between 8-16 inches for the southern Front Range Foothills, Boulder and the western suburbs of Denver, Castle Rock, Byers and Denver proper by Saturday morning.
