COLORADO, USA — It might still be autumn, but it felt like winter across most of Colorado.
A cold front brought a round of November snowfall to the mountains of Colorado as well as rain, snow and slush for the Denver metro area and the Front Range.
Snow began falling in Colorado's higher elevations as soon as the system pushed into the state early Thursday morning. Along the Front Range, afternoon rain turned to snow during the Thursday evening commute.
The official National Weather Service (NWS) station at Denver International Airport (DIA) received its first measurable amount of snow for the season.
Authorities are warning drivers to watch out for patchy black ice in the Denver area early Friday morning and winter driving conditions in the mountains.
