Winter Storm Brought 13 Inches In Some Places

What has been called the most powerful storm of the winter season is tapered off Saturday and moved east after pounding Colorado and parts of neighboring states. The system Friday created white conditions on the eastern plains, canceled more than 600 flights in Denver and closed hundreds of miles of highway between major Colorado cities and the Kansas border. Snow has piled up to 6 feet on some Rocky Mountain foothills - a welcome boost to some ski resorts that have suffered below-average snowfall this season. Severe weather struck parts of southeast Wyoming, western Kansas and Nebraska, where a band of heavy snow stalled, dumping nearly 13 inches in some spots.
