Spring Snowstorm Brings Heavy Wet Snow to Colorado
US · Published May 5, 2026
A spring snowstorm has swept across Colorado, delivering a significant amount of heavy, wet snow to various regions.
This weather event has impacted several counties, including Jefferson, Arapahoe, Adams, and Douglas, as well as areas in Northern Colorado, Aurora, Denver, Boulder, and the Foothills.
The storm is part of a broader weather pattern affecting the state, bringing unseasonably cold temperatures and precipitation.

Why It's Important?

The heavy, wet nature of the snow increases the risk of power outages and tree damage due to the weight on branches and power lines. Residents are urged to take precautions, such as clearing snow from walkways and driveways, and preparing for potential power disruptions. Several inches of snow have already accumulated, with more expected, leading to hazardous travel conditions. The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) is working to maintain road access, but conditions are rapidly changing.
