Snow fell across southern Colorado last night, and now we have to deal with slick and icy roads.
Another issue is the dense fog forming through the region, making visibility less than a mile in many cases.
For the most part, the snow has stopped across the region other than leftover flurries and snow showers across the mountains.
The slickest drives without a doubt will be at elevations over 7,000 feet in Fremont, Custer, and Huerfano counties, as well as mountain passes to our west.
