Wednesday’s Denver blizzard tabbed the “bomb cyclone” dumped snowed on and around Denver up to two inches per hour. With high winds and icy conditions, the Denver Airport runway and roads leading into Colorado were closed. You can imagine what sort of havoc this weather system caused on the Colorado Crossroads tournament.
