Residents of the Front Range corridor and eastern Colorado may be dealing with snow-damaged trees after tonight and tomorrow’s snowstorm, and may soon be considering actions to protect and repair them. Keith Wood, community forestry program manager for the Colorado State Forest Service, said that although the first impulse may be to start sawing when a tree is damaged, homeowners should first assess the situation to avoid hurting themselves or further damaging the tree.

Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) maintenance crews are on or set to go on snow- shift this afternoon and evening as the latest spring storm begins moving into the state.
