Weekend snow overwhelms Colorado

Denver received almost a foot of snow this weekend in a very short amount of time. The Front Range and east plains also did not get left out. USA Today reported the snow was deep enough for some of the airlines at Denver International Airport to have cancelled flights.
The National Weather Service had issued snow advisories in the affected area, but cancelled their warnings after the snow had stopped falling in the Denver area.
Areas of Colorado’s eastern plains also had snow warnings, but they were not cancelled as they had strong winds that made visibility impossible at times. Hundreds of people were called from the Colorado Department of Transportation to help get the roads cleaned-up across the areas affected.
Knowing that sudden cold weather can unexpectedly hit, home and business owners should make it a priority to winterize their buildings and homes. One of the most important things to focus on is making sure pipes do not freeze and burst, which can cause flooding. With the holidays coming up quickly, there are many other things one would rather deal with than a flooded home or office.
