It is snowing harder at my house than it is in Conifer. It is so cold out, I'm pretty sure the water in my eyes is freezing.
Roads are snow packed. There is some lane recognition every once in a while, mostly in the right lane. Once you get to Conifer there is better lane recognition in the left lane. I did feel the tires slip a bit just past Shaffer's Crossing on the way up the hill towards Kings Valley, but I didn't slide.
The drive wasn't as bad as I expected and I did see several plows out.
Have a good day! Drive safe.
From Lisa B at midnight:
Just drove from Loveland to Bailey. Took 2 hours but slow and steady and I didn’t slip once in my Subaru Crosstrek with good all seasons. I-25 south was lightly snowing. You could see pavement. I-76 was snow covered in spots. I-70 was the same. C-470 was snowing but not bad. The canyon was snow covered with lane recognition in the right hand lane. Conifer was snowing lightly road was snow covered in spots. Saw snow plows going northbound. Thanked them for working hard for us as they passed. Started snowing harder and no lane recognition to Bailey. I went between 10-15 mph under the speed limit. It is soooo cold. Be safe everyone. Be kind to each other.
Shaffer's Crossing to Sinclair starts to
accumulate with some slick spots
Watch for a disabled vehicle on the NB side just past the Maverick
Sinclair to King Soopers is snowpacked. Layer of ice underneath.
I didn't have any issues, but I am not excited to be driving in the snow again! There are plows out.

We just drove from Denver- it’s icy/slick. We have snow tires on our SUV and drove around 35mph and was fine. Slow & steady. Looks like maybe one pass a while ago by a plow on 285

Just came down 285 from 72 in Bailey. Bailey to Pine Junction was clear. Slick after Pine Junction. Bare pavement to the 73 exit to Evergreen. Snow on the road all the rest of the way down. Glad to be on 470 now.

Just now, 285/Indian Hills to C470/Broadway mostly dry (yes, including the canyon!) with just a few wet areas. I did not a see or feel any ice.
Mary E. 7:10am

Good morning travelers, Shelton and 43 are snowpacked this morning if your coming down Shelton be careful on the S curve before 43, it's fairly slick. 285 is partially snowpacked until Richmond then north of there dry 73 has a few slick spots but over all in good shape it's dry north of Marshdale. Happy Monday ...uggg
