Ahhh, not so fast my friend... it's a classic uplift storm... If you are west of the divide you probably aren't even experiencing much from this storm.
The low moving from the 4 corners area to the east brings winds from east that rub up agains the mountains. When the air rises up due to terrain (orographic uplift) is when you get the biggest storms on the Front Range but typically the mountains miss out.
On that note, I will be driving from So. Cal. tomorrow making my way back to Denver for the holidays. Hopefully they can get the plows out by tomorrow.
