Today’s Forecast:

Lots of snow fell across southern Colorado overnight, but highs in the 90s on Monday kept most of it from sticking to the ground. There will be several slick drives in the mountains and at most small roads above 7,000 feet this morning, but the main commutes like I-25 from Denver to Colorado Springs will be just fine.
