The major wind storm brought snow to the high country and caused damage and power outages across the Denver metro area.
The forecast early in the day said that Denver could possibly see from 30 to 50 mph in Denver, with gusts as highs as 75 mph. The foothills could see gusts up to 100 mph.
Wednesday's wind storm produced widespread damage, over 100,000 power outages and several wind gusts in excess of 100 mph.
Of course, it wasn't just strong winds that moved through Colorado on Wednesday. Snow squalls shut down parts of Interstate 70 on Wednesday morning, and a mix of rain, snow, sleet and graupel moved through the Denver area around 8 a.m. on Wednesday as well.
