丹佛：迟到的春季暴风雪袭击前缘，引发停电和作物风险
Read, Watch or Listen
Denver. State transportation officials and utility companies mobilized crews as a late spring snowstorm moved across the Front Range Tuesday evening through Wednesday afternoon, prompting Winter Storm Watches and Warnings. CDOT urged drivers to avoid roads, and Xcel Energy placed about 165 employees on standby, warning heavy, wet snow could bring down tree limbs and cause power outages across metro and foothill areas. Longmont farmers reacted this week by sheltering sensitive plants and assessing crop risk; Ya Ya Farm owner Sharon Perdue and Unsung Family Farm operator Adam Jones described both concern about freezes and appreciation for steady moisture. CDOT spokesperson Tamara Rollison said pre-treating was not feasible when pavement was warm, and Xcel's Iffie Jennings advised reporting downed lines immediately as crews respond into Wednesday and beyond.
