Colorado Snow Storm: Denver, Front Range Buried

A Winter Storm Warning remained in effect for Colorado's Front Range, metropolitan Denver and eastern Colorado Sunday as a powerful storm buried the state with heavy snow.

"The Colorado Department of Transportation said its entire fleet of snowplows was deployed, but plow drivers had a difficult time keeping up with the steady overnight snowfall."

This is sad. This is the Rocky mountains. If C-Dot can not keep up with a 7 inch storm in the metro are then something is seriously wrong. The roads are always in horrible shape regardless of the snow fall amounts.

And where is the money going to come from to buy more plows and hire more workers that are kept on stand-by? I think that we should just appreciate what we do get which is a pretty good job. Sure the roads may be slick, snow might start piling up, but we can still get from place-to-place. No one should expect the roads to be perfect. Also, Denver and the Front Range are not the Rocky Mountains. The snow down here melts within a few days. Up there, it comes down much more frequently and piles up all year.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the injured troopers. They put their lives on the line everyday to keep us safe! Thank you! Hope your recover is swift.
