Up to eight inches of snow could blanket parts of the Front Range Wednesday night and forecasters are warning travelers to prepare for hazardous winter travel conditions.
Although Denver is only expected to receive 1 or 2 inches of snow, Castle Rock and its surrounding area could receive up to 8 inches Wednesday night through Thursday morning, according to The National Weather Service in Boulder. Some areas south of Castle Rock and west of Colorado Springs could face up to a foot of snow.
