Total snow accumulations by late Thursday night will range from 6 to 12 inches across the northeast plains, with 8 to 16 inches of snow from the denver metro area to limon, and one to two feet in douglas and western elbert counties (edited to add: that's where we are). The snow and prolonged winds will also produce considerable drifting of snow.
Precautionary/preparedness actions,
A blizzard warning means severe winter weather conditions are occurring or imminent. Sustained wind and/or frequent wind gusts of 35 mph or higher will combine with considerable falling and blowing snow to produce widespread visibilities below one quarter of a mile. Travel will be extremely dangerous and is discouraged in these whiteout conditions. If you must travel, have a winter survival kit with you. If you get stranded, stay with your vehicle and wait for help to arrive.

Here's a "before" picture... we'll see what "after" looks like.
Update... three hours later and it's getting pretty snowy out there!
