DENVER --
The snow isn't over yet. It's not even close to ending. In fact, look for snow to keep falling with NO real breaks in sight until Sunday. A blizzard warning is now up for Colorado's eastern plains
At least 12" of snow was on the ground in Denver by Friday morning., and 2 feet or more was on the ground in the foothills and mountains just west of Denver.
Fox 31's Weather Team says there is much more heavy snow that will fall on metro Denver, the foothills, mountains and eastern plains. Stronger wind will become more of an issue, particularly in eastern Colorado.
Governor Bill Owens declared a statewide disaster emergency as the snow started to fall Thursday.
