Oh sure. 10 inches of new snow doesn't bother us a bit. The main school closures are on the Eastern Plains where there have been high winds creating 4 foot drifts. But, otherwise, besides a bit of solid ice on the side streets, everything in the metro are is "go."
In the City of Denver, they still have thousands of blocks of streets loaded with ice that need to be cleared from our huge December storms. They have 120 pieces of snow removal equipment which clean between 100-200 blocks per day. However, the city has 14,000 blocks total, of which about 1/3rd have been ice cleared. Of course, this equipment had to be diverted to snow removal from this current storm. However, Denver only got about 5 inches of snow, while the SOuthern (and higher) portions of the metro area, such as Parker (elevation about 5,900 feet) got more.
Most of the closures and delays listed below are on the Eastern Plains or eastern side of the metro area:
