Today’s Forecast:
Snowfall from late last night will continue to fall across southern Colorado this morning, with deep cold allowing the snow to stick to the roads. A wave of energy is moving towards Colorado this morning, and will allow for heavier snowfall through the morning commute. Snow will continue to fall to and after lunch time through the region, clearing up first in the mountains west of I-25 and lastly through the eastern plains. Temperatures will stay well below freezing today and tonight, meaning that roads will stay snow covered or icy all day unless treated by snow-melt from CDOT.
