Outer portions of the Denver metro area saw 20 to 24 inches of snow.

About 36 hours after the snowstorm started, the final flakes are fluttering across Colorado’s Front Range and high plains.

“Conditions will gradually improve this morning but it will take some time to dig out of this major winter storm,” the National Weather Service wrote in a statement early Friday. Even though multiple feet of snow fell in the foothills, this storm may enter the books as a forgettable one in Denver, because official weather records are kept at Denver International Airport, about 15 miles east of downtown. Snow amounts sharply dropped east of the city and airport registered just 5.7 inches. Amounts climbed to 8 to 12 inches downtown and up to 15 to 24 inches in its west and southwest suburbs.
