Denver closed...literally.

All flights to DEN cancelled since Tuesday afternoon due to a fairly severe blizzard. Currently 3 feet of snow on the ground at the airport. All roads impassible. Boulder, 30 miles West of the airport has 52 inches on the ground. And this is within a 24 hour period !!

Part of the canopy on the roof at DIA collapsed necessitating the evacuation of the main terminal. All stranded passengers shipped to Terminal B where food, drink and good humor were in scarce supply.

Snow stopping now, airport could re-open by tomorrow morning.2nd worst storm in Denver history.
