Winter Weather Alerts Remain In Effect Across Central Rockies, Plains Due To More Snow, Ice

The winter weather alerts were initially put into effect after the first significant winter storm of the season swept into the Plains last October 29. Further reports say the winter storm also dumped several inches of snow in the state of Colorado which resulted in several delays and cancellations of flights at the Denver International Airport (DEN) and obstructions on roads and highways.

An article in the FOX Weather states that according to FlightAware.com, there were around a hundred delays and another hundred flight cancellations at the DEN as of the evening of October 28. By October 29, winter weather alerts state that the delayed flights increased to almost 700, with more than 26 canceled flights.
