Blizzard conditions were expected in parts of Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska, the National Weather Service said.
Denver was covered in 5 inches of snow Wednesday afternoon, and authorities said high winds caused crashes and road closures in western Colorado, The Associated Press reported. Airlines canceled 50 flights at Denver’s airport, according to NBC affiliate KUSA.
