The National Weather Service has issued winter storm warnings for Colorado and Wyoming, warning of heavy snowfall, hazardous winds, and plummeting temperatures.
Residents are advised to avoid traveling during this period, as snowy conditions may hinder driving and heighten the risk of accidents.
The NWS has cautioned that heavy snow will accumulate on tree branches and powerlines, potentially causing them to break and lead to power outages.
Travelers are urged to keep an extra flashlight, food, and water in their vehicle in case of an emergency.
The warning will remain in effect until 12 p.m. on May 6, with conditions expected to persist until at least Wednesday afternoon.
