DENVER — Kids across the Denver metro are getting a three-day weekend thanks to a slow moving snowstorm that’s expected to dump between seven to 10 inches of additional snow in the area by Saturday morning.
The forecast, calling for snow and ice-covered roads that will make travel hazardous, “with the possibility of very difficult or impossible travel” east and southeast of Denver, according to weather service officials in Boulder , prompted school districts from around the metro to announce snow-related school closures for Friday.
Cherry Creek Schools was the first to announce all classes, school activities, and before and after school daycare programs will be closed tomorrow.
Aurora Public Schools soon followed.
