People in Colorado and Wyoming are getting out their snow shovels as a late-spring storm could bring Denver’s biggest snowfall of the season. Snow is developing in the northern Colorado mountains and foothills, with rain in Denver expected to change over to snow by Tuesday night. Up to 8 inches are possible. Higher elevations in Colorado could see up to a foot. The snowfall is expected to continue into Wednesday, followed by plunging temperatures and a widespread freeze. Snow in May is unusual for the region but not unheard of. A light dusting on June 2, 1951, was the latest time in the year Denver saw snow.
