Blizzards delivering heavy snow stopped traffic and airtravel in Colorado on Sunday. Denver airport was closed and many roads were impossible to traverse.
Many travellers were stranded at the airport, and local accommodation was finding it difficult to keep up with the extra bookings.

Some travellers are very frustrated with the delays as they cannot get a flight home, in some instances, for a couple of days.

And within the past decade things have started to change even on this front and even on the more conservative arenas such as Bukowskis - the top Nordic auction house.
