DENVER — The storm will start to move out of Colorado Wednesday, but will leave behind very cold temperatures with lows close to zero. In the morning, the main concern will be this bitter cold and the slick roads. The snow will end by morning, but road conditions will remain slippery through the morning commute. By the end of the week, this cold front will have left town.
