DENVER (AP) -- A snowstorm moving through Colorado is making travel difficult.

Colorado Springs officials reported slick roads and multiple accidents Wednesday night, and at least four flights originally headed to Colorado Springs were diverted to Denver International Airport.

The Denver airport, meanwhile, reported about 30 flight cancellations Wednesday night and about 50 flight delays ranging from 20 minutes to four hours.

The National Weather Service says up to a foot of snow and strong winds were expected on the plains between Wednesday and Thursday.

State transportation department spokeswoman Mindy Crane says hundreds of plows have been deployed across the eastern half of the state. Kansas also was expecting heavy snow.

In southwest Colorado, four inches of new snow was reported Wednesday evening near Pagosa Springs.
