    Denver did a fair impersonation of Chicago Wednesday. It was the windy city all over the place as a late spring storm moved into Colorado, bringing high winds to much of the state including the Front Range, and measurable snow to mountain locations. Gusts of up to 55 miles per hour swept across Denver and the Front Range, kicking up dust and causing difficult driving for high-profile vehicles. The high winds caused some flight cancellations at Denver International Airport. 2 to 4 inches of snow was forecast for some locations. Snow fell along the Continental Divide and at the Eisenhower...

A second vehicle that had spun out of control struck a responding firefighter of six years, on foot at...
