New Snowstorm Hits Denver Area, But Not Many Schools Close

DENVER (CBS4) - Classes are a go on Tuesday for most students despite the early arrival of a new snowstorm in the Denver metro area. Heavy snow began falling well before daybreak and many roads were snow-covered and slick. There's a chance some schools might close early, however, with significant accumulation expected in the p.m. hours.

Denver Public Schools said they canceled all field trips on Tuesday and all after-school activities. Douglas County schools also canceled after-school activities including sports.

Only a small handful of schools did announce they would be closed on Tuesday. That included the University of Denver, Boulder Country Day School and Red Rocks Community College. Holy Family High School, Mullen High School and Regis Jesuit High School all announced they would be closed for the second day in a row.

Several school districts on Colorado's Eastern Plains announced they were closed on Tuesday. That included schools in Byers, Brush, Briggsdale and Keenesburg.
