Over the weekend, many Denver-area residents woke up to find the world blanketed in what may have looked like snow or dense frost — and for some, that frost may have had large crystals jutting out

Denver's snow totals could reach between 2 and 4 inches this weekend as a quick blast of winter drops moderate snow in Colorado's high country. Temps will also drop over the next 7 days in Denver.

Most locations in the Denver metro area will be in the low 40s with 30s in the mountains. Moderate snow for the mountains begins Saturday afternoon, increasing this evening/overnight. Winter weather advisories have been posted for most of the northern and central mountains through Sunday afternoon.
