A winter storm brought heavy snowfall to metro Denver overnight, dropping over seven inches of heavy, wet snow at Denver International Airport by Thursday morning.
The snow began falling late Wednesday evening and began to subside in Denver about 4:30 a.m. Thursday morning; parts of far northeast Colorado will still feel the impacts of the storm through the morning as snow continues to fall out there.
