DENVER – A week after a record-breaking snowstorm that dumped 27.1 inches of snow on Denver, the state is preparing for another round of snow.
Although this storm is not expected to be as powerful, the trip could be affected, especially on the I-70 mountain corridor Sunday.
The storm will bring snowstorms over the northern and central mountains from Saturday afternoon to Sunday evening.
