Snow began falling at DIA at about 11:22 a.m. The airport is expecting between 3-6 inches of total accumulation through about 4 a.m. tomorrow, with additional flurries expected in the morning.

The airlines are currently in full deicing mode, which means passengers should expect to spend a little longer on the aircraft before departing.
