DENVER — The snow that arrived late Tuesday has continued to fall across Colorado.

The 9NEWS Weather Impact Team issued a Weather Impact Day through Saturday morning for the significant snowstorm. The snow is forecast to continue until Saturday along Colorado's Front Range, foothills and the Denver metro area.

Several areas of Colorado have received more than 30 inches of snow, including La Veta Pass, San Isabel and Cuchara.

Genoa, Beulah, La Veta Pass, Elbert, Pinecliffe, Peyton, Simla, Flagler, Westcliffe, Conifer, Monarch Pass, and Rye are among the areas of Colorado that have reported more than 20 inches of new snow.

The official snow total for Denver is 9 inches, recorded at Denver International Airport. The airport saw hundreds of delays on Friday due to the storm. Nearby Aurora has received 13 inches of snow.

The National Weather Service posted Winter Storm Warnings across Colorado's central and eastern plains and Winter Weather Advisories for areas west and south of Denver.

Colorado Snow Totals

Here are some snow reports from around Colorado as of 12:30 p.m. Friday, according to the National Weather Service:

The next storm system headed to Colorado will likely bring 6 to 14 inches of snow on Friday and Saturday.

The steadier snow moves into the Denver area late Friday morning, with moderate-to-heavy snow likely Friday afternoon and on Friday night and into Saturday morning.

Look for a widespread 4 to 8 inches of accumulation, with 10 inches or more possible in spots as well. This looks like a significant winter storm, and likely to be one of our biggest November snowstorms in recent memory.

Colorado will finally get rid of the snow on Saturday morning and dry out and melt out starting on Saturday afternoon, with quieter weather Sunday through Tuesday of next week.

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.
