DENVER (KDVR) — Denver received almost a foot of snow during Thursday’s storm, but the accumulated snow in the Mile High City hardly compares to the rest of Colorado.
On Thursday, there were hundreds of flights canceled, highway crashes and closed ski areas due to the snow – one area closed for the first time in 20 years. At times, around 50,000 people were left without power.
Coloradans were pictured knee-deep in snow and some pets around the state were playing in powder. Other pictures showed branches in the road and even a 28-year-old tree broken in the backyard.
While the Front Range saw the effects of the mid-March snowstorm, some areas in Colorado saw more than others.
Areas with the most snow
These totals were taken from Wednesday, March 13 at midnight to Friday, March 15 at 6:30 a.m.
| Rank | Colorado towns | Inches |
| 1 | Nederland | 53 (4.4 feet) |
| 2 | Genesee | 45.7 (3.8 feet) |
| 3 | Jamestown | 45.5 (3.79 feet) |
| 4 | Aspen Springs | 45.5 (3.79 feet) |
| 5 | Pinecliffe | 41.2 (3.4 feet) |
Places like Nederland saw the most snow because it snowed for longer, according to Pinpoint Weather Meteorologist Travis Michels.
Snow started on Wednesday afternoon in places like Nederland, while snow started much later in the metro.
It was also colder in Nederland. Denver had some rain showers on Wednesday night, and Nederland received more snow that stuck to the ground.
While places like Nederland received over four feet, other spots hardly saw any snow. This is because of upsloping, allowing for places at higher elevations to see the biggest snow totals.
Impacts from the 48-hour snowstorm are lingering into Friday. Some people around the state are still without power, meanwhile, other major highways are still closed due to snow.
