DENVER—A spring storm has brought rain, snow and hail to Colorado.
National Weather Service officials say a storm Wednesday dumped about a foot of snow at Berthoud Pass. State transportation officials said U.S. 40 over the pass would close from 9 p.m. Wednesday until Thursday morning due to avalanche danger.
Lower elevations saw about 2 to 8 inches of snow, while the Denver area got 1 to 3 inches. On Tuesday, highs on the Front Range were in the 70s.
The statewide snowpack is listed at 147 percent of average.
In eastern Colorado, the Weather Service received reports of one-inch diameter hail and of downed power poles in Burlington.
Tornado warnings were issued for parts of Yuma and Kit Carson counties, but meteorologists say it appears no tornadoes touched down.
