Driving conditions in the I-25 gap between Castle Rock and Monument are still icy, slow, and dangerous if you're driving too fast.
Oh. A real Colorado storm decided to say hello this time. Denver got hit hard along with most areas surrounding Denver. At least 8 inches from the #denver7 studios. Places west of downtown saw up to a foot. pic.twitter.com/mFsAG4xVZj

CDOT has been out plowing roads all night, but there is still lots of work to be done.
I-25 is covered in a thin layer of snow throughout all of Colorado Springs, and there's plenty of snow on the roads up to Denver.
Denver got hit with incredibly heavy snow, and we have 8 inches reported up near our sister station KMGH in Denver.
There are some roads in downtown Denver that have some deep snow. Travel could be challenging with a low riding vehicle. pic.twitter.com/SkIxIUCVU6
