Northern Colorado hit by early season snowstorm

DENVER (AP) – Much of northern Colorado is under a winter weather advisory as an early season storm dumps snow across the region.

The National Weather Service says 3 to 6 inches (8 to 15 centimeters) had already fallen from Boulder to the Wyoming state line by Sunday morning.

An additional 2 inches (5 centimeters) was expected to fall around Fort Morgan, causing icy road conditions.

The weather service’s winter weather advisory is in effect until noon Sunday.

Heavy snow is expected to fall in the mountains until Monday morning. That includes up to 12 inches (30 centimeters) forecast to fall on Pikes Peak.
