Heavy snow delays schools, slows morning commute

DENVER — A surprisingly powerful snow storm hit metro Denver Thursday morning, wreaking havoc on the morning commute and causing numerous school delays and closures.

The storm came to an end mid-morning, but not before dropping 1-9″ of snow accumulation in some metro area locations.

The snow arrived quickly between 2:00 and 3:00 a.m. and fell at a rapid rate, making it difficult for plows to keep the snow from piling up on highways.

Slick conditions resulted in numerous accidents, most of them minor. (Check Denver Traffic Conditions)

Snow and wind closed westbound Interstate 70 from westbound C-470 to Silverthorne and eastbound I-70 from Vail to Idaho Springs. The interstate reopened in both directions by 10:30 a.m.

The Colorado Avalanche Information Center issued an Avalanche Warning Thursday for the Front Range mountains as well as the areas around Vail and in Summit County.

Down Syndrome organizations says federal funding decreased

On Monday, February 13, 2012 the National Institutes of Health (NIH) published the fiscal year 2011 research funding for Down syndrome. The funding numbers decreased from $22 million in 2010 to $20 million in 2011 out of a total $31 billion budget. The 2010 funding levels already equated to Down syndrome being the least funded genetic condition by the NIH, something many Down syndrome organizations have been trying to reverse.

Cousin pleads for hit and run driver to surrender

DENVER — It’s been a rough day for Paul DeHoyos.

He learned late Monday night that his cousin, 42-year-old James Garcia, was hit and killed while crossing the street at Colfax and Sheridan on the Denver/Lakewood city limits.

“He was a good man, straight-up person.  He left his children. We’re all going to miss him,” an emotion DeHoyos told us Tuesday.

Denver police say Garcia was hit at about 7:20 p.m.  Monday and the driver never stopped.

The suspect vehicle is described as an older model, white, GMC passenger van, which sustained damage to the front-end as a result of the collision.  Parts of the front grill, including the GMC logo are missing from the front of the vehicle.

As for DeHoyos, he has a message for that driver:

“I hope that he has compassion to come forward and to understand that he took somebody and hopefully it doesn’t happen to his family, ever.”
