COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- One Colorado Springs neighborhood was hit particularly hard by the storm as trees and fences were damaged early Thursday morning.

The city saw highs in the 60s Wednesday, but that quickly changed as more snow than expected began falling early Thursday. The snow, combined with the strong winds the state has seen throughout the past few days, caused some significant damage.

"Fences are down all over," Affordable Demolition Owner Jeff Waldvogel said. "We've been out running estimates all morning super early, even late last night around midnight we were getting calls that trees were toppling."

One tree that did topple was in central Colorado Springs.

"I heard a crack, then my neighbor came down and told me the tree fell over," Peg Henkins, whose Condor Street house sits next to the house where a tree fell on a roof, said.

Wind gusts exceeded 50 mph during the storm.

"This tree fell on the house, broke some of the roof," Waldvogel said. "Luckily no one was in the house and the tree didn't break through any walls or anything. They're pretty lucky here."

The quick-moving storm kept city crews bust Thursday morning as well.

"An inch of snow can turn into six or eight inches pretty quickly," Allen Peterson with the City Streets Division said. "So, we're finding that when the wind does blow the snow back onto the roadway, we just have to keep plowing, keep plowing, keep plowing."
