The wider storm

A long and sharp trough passed over the region that brought a strong cold front with very cold air behind it. The cold air created an efficient environment for efficient snow production, leading to heavy snowfall accumulations across the eastern mountains and the I-25 corridor from El Paso County down to the New Mexico border.
