Good Morning all, of of 6am, there’s black ice on the roads from pine Junction all the way to Richmond hill. Wet in Conifer. Be careful and safe travels.

It’s not bad at all. The freezing drizzle on the windshield made the drive in a bit more interesting. Make sure your defrost is working good!!!

I just drove from Kings Valley to DTC. The road was icy all the way to Morrison, but I did not see any accidents BECAUSE EVERYBODY WAS DRIVING SLOWLY AND RESPONSIBLY! It was great to watch a whole lot of hurried commuters taking it easy because they knew that just driving a 4WD/AWD does not give you any superpowers.

There is now a rollover reported at Richmond Hill (MM233) and another on Crow Hill in Bailey at ~MM223. Please keep driving safe everyone!

Snowplows are out: cotrip.org/snowplow.htm#/snowplow

Hwy 285 is now closed NB through Turkey Creek Canyon.

Turkey Creek Canyon southbound was a disaster area. Jackknifed semis and cars scattered everywhere. This is Northbound right before C-470. Completely stopped. Lots of cars pulled over heading up the hill.
