DENVER — The latest round of winter weather brought heavy snow to Colorado's mountains as well as thunderstorms, rain and snow showers to lower elevations of the state.

Rain began falling Sunday evening in much of the Denver area before changing to snow around sunset. The snow was heavy at times Sunday night and early Monday morning.

The snow and blizzard conditions caused many flights to be delayed or canceled at Denver International Airport on Sunday and Monday.

Some schools and businesses have closed or delayed their opening on Monday. Bennett School Dist. 29-J, Byers School Dist. 32-J, Kiowa C-2, Lewis-Palmer District 38, and Strasburg School District 31-J are among the districts closed on Monday.

The snow is forecast to end Monday morning as the storm moves out of the state, but cold and windy conditions will remain. It will also be chilly, with highs stuck in the upper 30s — about 20 degrees below average — in Denver on Monday.

Colorado chain and traction laws

The CDOT urged travelers to be aware of chain and traction law codes before heading out on the roadway:

Code 18/Commercial Chain Law: Commercial vehicles and trucks must have chains. Vehicles without chains can often lose traction, causing traffic delays and sometimes road closures. For the safety of the traveling public, it's critical to use chains to comply with Colorado's chain law.
Code 15/Passenger Traction Law: All passenger vehicles must have appropriate all-weather tires with 3/16-inch depth. Vehicles must have one of the following: winter tires, tires with mud/snow (M+S) designation, chains or alternative traction devices such as an autosock. 4WD and AWD vehicles must have winter tires or all-weather tires.
Code 16/Passenger Chain Law: All passenger vehicles need chains, except for 4WD and AWD vehicles with all-weather tires with 3/16-inch tread depth.
