As a result of all the snow, an avalanche warning is in effect through Thursday for all of the Colorado backcountry areas in the northern and western mountains. It is recommended to avoid backcountry skiing and snowboarding during this period of time.

Snow is falling in the mountains Tuesday morning, but the worst of the Thanksgiving week storm is yet to come.

A snowstorm swept through Colorado on Tuesday and into Wednesday afternoon, accumulating over two feet of snow in some areas across the state.
