DENVER- The worst of the storm hit the metro area Tuesday morning and continued moving east. While nearly a foot fell in certain areas, it was really the wind that caused the most trouble.
Arvada got just a light dusting. Parker is likely still digging itself out from under the snow. Along Highway 86 in Elizabeth and Kiowa, cars dotted the sides of roads, spun out and abandoned. The highway closed in Kiowa Tuesday.
Backups on Interstate 25 and Interstate 70 snarled traffic -- despite many taking the day off of work and school. I-70 would remain closed from Denver to Kansas until about 4 p.m., when CDOT incrementally opened the remainder of the interstate.
We caught up with a young man named Bryce, who recruited his friends and family to help him dig his mother's car out of a two-foot snow drift in Parker.
"Oh. Just out playing in the snow you know. Trying to have some fun and I plowed through some snow drifts. It's my mom's car," he said.
Mom was not in attendance.
"No she's sitting at home. Yelling at me," he said.
