A powerful late winter snowstorm intensified over the central Rocky Mountains on Sunday with heavy snow and wind leading to airport and road closures, power outages and avalanche warnings in parts of Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska.
The Colorado Department of Transportation just before 1 p.m. Sunday closed Interstate 70 westbound at DeBeque, due to a rolled semi and hazmat cleanup. It was expected it to remain closed overnight.
