Snow closes schools in northeastern Colorado

Kids in northeastern Colorado are getting an extra day off from school because of heavy snow from this weekend’s storm.

Schools in Sterling, Akron, Julesburg and Yuma are among those closed Monday because of the weather. Sterling got about 7 inches of snow.

While the Front Range only got light snow, some parts of the mountains got a foot or more from the storm. Winter Park reports getting 19 inches of snow over the last two days and Steamboat says it got 17 inches from the remnants of the so-called Pineapple Express that hit the West Coast.
