Claim 2: “Winter Storm Warning: Up to 30 Inches of Snow and 60 MPH Gusts Threaten Denver Airport and Colorado Highways Today”
MISLEADING
The claim suggests 30 inches of snow and 60 mph gusts threaten the Denver Airport (DIA) specifically. However, the evidence clarifies that DIA/Denver metro is expected to get 4 to 8 inches (locally up to 12), while the 30 inches are localized to the 'highest elevations' and mountains, not the airport itself.
