DENVER — The snow that began early Tuesday morning finally came to an end Wednesday morning but it will remain cold with highs only expected to get into the 20s.
A new record low temperature of 3° was set and another low temperature record could be set Thursday.
All that snow and the bitter cold temperatures prompted many school districts including Denver, Aurora and Cherry Creek to close on Wednesday. Others had delayed starts.

Denver has the following tips for snow shoveling:
- Push (do not lift) the snow with a snow shovel.
- Shovel snow into your yard to avoid blocking a bike or travel lane. This will also avoid the snowplow from pushing snow back on your sidewalk.
- Be mindful of neighbors and those you could help if they are unable to shovel or snow-blow, etc.
