Stores busy as Colo. prepares for major snowstorm (AP)

DENVER ? A powerful winter storm moving across Colorado Friday has dumped more than a foot of snow in some areas.

The storm has prompted a blizzard warning for the northeast, forced flight cancellations and school closures, and calls from highway officials to slow down on icy roadways.

National Weather Service meteorologist Bob Kleyla says the snow began falling Thursday night and by 3:30 a.m. MST Friday, six inches had fallen on downtown Denver, more in suburban areas and up to 15 inches in the foothills west of the city.

He adds that Boulder and some areas just north of Colorado Springs were struggling with 10 inches of snow.

But despite the weather, Colorado Department of Transportation spokesman Jarrett Handy says there are no current road closures, even though many roads are icy and snow packed.

He urged motorists to drive cautiously, especially during rush hour.
