From Karen E at 5am:
4:30 am PJ to Conifer

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.
