DENVER — The first of several rounds of snow this week has left its mark on Colorado.
Several areas of Colorado received more than 16 inches of snow, including Breckenridge, Pinegree Park and Mount Audobon, in the storm that began Sunday and continued into Monday morning.
Silverthorne, Glendevey, Ward, Echo Lake, Copper Mountain and Brainard Lake were among the areas of Colorado that have reported more than a foot of new snow.
The snow is forecast to gradually dissipate Monday morning across the Denver metro areas, and sunshine is likely to return Monday afternoon. Winter Weather Advisories and Winter Storm Warnings were in effect until 11 a.m. Monday for many western counties in Colorado.
More snow is on the way to Colorado later this week. The 9NEWS Weather Impact Team has issued a Weather Impact Day for Wednesday, with a slower, stronger storm system likely to bring accumulating snow to the Denver area.

Tips for removing snow from trees:
- Be aware that accumulating snow, ice, or wind could cause limbs to break and fall at any time.
- Check to make sure the tree is safe and clear of all utility lines prior to removing snow.
- Do not attempt to shake snow off a tree if a utility line is going through its branches or is within contact distance.
- If the tree is clear of utility lines, use a broom to remove as much snow as possible from branches by brushing off or gently shaking. Avoid large, rapid movement as this could cause the limb to break.
- Do not attempt to climb a tree or use a ladder to reach higher limbs.
If it appears the tree has fallen on powerlines, it's best to leave it alone and wait for the utility to come and clear it.
