Traffic, Cams, & Road Conditions!

I came down I70 at about 5:30 this morning. I saw several vehicles trying to drive up the hill and failing. I saw State Patrol and Jeffco sheriffs driving in to aid those that were stuck. Then, I saw the backup forming at the bottom of the hill.

I hope it open by the afternoon commute.

CDOT spokesperson says that this storm was unexpected... that as late as 3:30am the NWS was still only predicting 1/2 inch....

From what I can tell, it seems to be improving. Down here on the southeast side of town, I woke up at about 3 to screaming wind and didn't know it was snowing when I looked outside it was completely white out. I could not even see into the street ahead of me.

Police are saying I-70 is going to be closed for quite a while now because of avalanche control.

Per Scanners.

Crap. I-70 is my way home. Has anyone driven Hwy74 through the canyon this morning?

Thanks. I was thinking about heading home, but I've decided now that it'd be in my best interestes to stay down the hill until the afternoon.

Maybe things will clear off by then.
