DENVER — Hundreds of schools, businesses and government offices were closed across the Denver area and along the Front Range due to a February blast of snow and frigid temperatures.
Denver Public Schools, Aurora Public Schools, Cherry Creek Schools, Douglas County School District, Mapleton Public Schools, Jefferson County Public Schools and Westminster Public Schools were among the major school districts closed on Wednesday.
After the snow ends Wednesday afternoon, Arctic-cold temperatures will hang over Colorado into Thursday.
With temperatures expected to drop into the single digits on Thursday, it could create a potential extreme cold weather day for some Denver metro school districts.
Kids on Ruby Hill took advantage of the first snow day they had seen in a while and hoped a second one would be on the horizon.
"Last year snow days were horrible because we had to do online learning. We didn’t get any snow days," Monroe Rippe said. "So that sucked, but snow days now, they’re pretty fun."
"I always love to spend the day with my girls. I’ll take any reason for that," DPS mom Kenda Rippe said about the potential of a second snow day.
