Denver airport shut down by massive winter storm
A massive winter storm shut down Denver International Airport Wednesday afternoon along with hundreds of miles of highway across Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska.
Denver International — a hub for United Airlines and the sixth-busiest commercial airport in the nation — advised via its official Twitter account that passengers not attempt to travel to the airport while Peña Boulevard, the main route to the field, remains impassable.
