The 9NEWS Weather Impact Team issued a Weather Impact Day on Friday and Saturday for the significant snowstorm.
Highways began reopening across the Eastern Plains on Saturday, including Interstate 70, which was shut down Friday night due to the snow.
Hundreds of schools were closed across Colorado on Friday, including some of the largest school districts in the Denver area, such as Denver Public Schools, Aurora, Cherry Creek, Douglas County and Jeffco Public Schools.

CDOT plow crews are in full shift and will be plowing and treating state-maintained roads throughout the storm and afterward as necessary.
Even with plowing, pretreatment and deicing, CDOT said roads are slick, particularly on bridges, overpasses and shady areas. 
If you have to be out, take it slow, keep a safe distance behind the vehicle in front of you, stay well behind plows, do not pass plows and give extra time.
