DENVER — This won't be a big storm by any stretch of the imagination.
But enough snow could fall across the west side of the Denver area to lead to some disruptions to the Friday evening commute, and ski traffic could be particularly affected by this smaller storm.

A fast-moving system moves through the Denver area from north to south on Friday, and it should all end by 9 or 10 p.m. tonight.
With temperatures in the city around or slightly above freezing, the snow that fell during the daylight hours probably didn't stick much to roads or paved surfaces in or near Denver. However, it'll start to stick pretty quickly after dark.
That said, there've been bigger road impacts in the foothills west of Denver. That could could disrupt ski traffic in particular.
Some snow could stick in or near Denver after dark, but accumulations will be on the low side from this event. The snow should finish in most places between 8 and 11 p.m. on Friday night.
Look for snow totals to end up in the 2-4 inch range in Denver, with totals closer to the higher end of that range west of I-25 (perhaps closer to 4-8"), and around an inch or so (mostly on colder surfaces) from I-25 on east.
Denver's seen a little over 21 inches of snow so far this season -- about seven inches behind its season-to-date average. Friday should put at least a little dent into that gap, and another more potent storm in the middle of next week should further chip away at the deficit.
