November 6th 2024.
On a chilly Wednesday afternoon, snow began to fall in the Denver metro, causing delays for hundreds of flights at Denver International Airport. According to FlightAware, a total of 587 flights were delayed as of 2:45 p.m., with an additional four flights being canceled. Among the airlines experiencing the most delays were United, Southwest, and SkyWest, according to data from FlightAware.
Unfortunately, this snowy weather is not expected to let up anytime soon. The National Weather Service is forecasting more snow to fall across the Front Range throughout the week, with up to a foot expected in Denver. In other words, it's going to be a snowy and potentially treacherous few days for those traveling in and out of the area.
In addition to impacting air travel, the snow is also causing delays and cancellations for other forms of transportation. As reported by The Denver Post, RTD light rail between Peoria and Denver International Airport will be replaced with shuttle buses on Saturday. And as if that weren't enough, there's even been a stowaway "Halloween crab" discovered at DIA, which has now been safely relocated to the Denver Zoo. Talk about an unexpected traveler!
In other DIA news, the airport has announced plans to swap land with a landfill operator, in what some are calling a "trash land deal."
