Photo of the Day: It may not look like it, but there will be baseball here soon
An early spring blizzard blanketed the greater Denver area with powder Wednesday, with some spots receiving more than a foot of snow by the time it was all said and done.

The Rockies open the 2016 season with a three-game series against the D-backs at Chase Field in Phoenix. We're guessing that Frosty the Snowman will have gone to roam a farm upstate by the time Nolan Arenado and Co. return to Denver to host the Padres on April 8.
