Snow forecasts run 1-12 inches Only agreement: It will be bone-chilling, with subzero lows

Forecasters remain a bit at odds on exactly how much snow the next storm will bring to the area, but they do agree frigid weather is on the way, beginning today.
Meteorologists said the storm will likely start with light drizzle before it turns to snow. A second arctic front is expected on Sunday, and it will keep temperatures near the zero mark before things start to warm up on Tuesday. Winds could be a problem, though not all forecasters agree. Some forecasters say that gusts of up to 30 mph will create visibility problems. Others said they don't believe that winds will be a factor. Predictions for when the storm will move out of the area range from Saturday to Monday, with the worst-case scenario for snow-weary residents being one that has flurries lasting through Monday. Snow totals are all over the map, with the National Weather Service saying that as little as 1 to 3 inches might fall in the Denver area, while others expect from 6 inches to a foot. Predictions Forecasts by different agencies on the storm arriving at the end of this week are:

How anyone gets around in all that snow, I'll never know. Good luck!
Hey, Readerman...
With enough hot cocoa and a sled, you can go anywhere in Denver. (In fact, our mayor, John Hickenlooper's first public utterance with regard to the 30+ incehs of snow we got on the first round (we're now on the fourth round), was to extol the magnificent opportunity to go sledding with a belly full of cocoa. Politicians! Ugh!)
