From Clif B. 6am
Shelton and 43 have just enough snow to make it a little slick. 285 is in the same boat but plows are out dropping sand, 73 has less than 1/4 inch but untouched by County plows. It's a balmy 5 degrees in Evergreen this morning. Stay safe and warm.

Good morning, Roads are a bit icy this morning Shelton and 43 are are snowpacked (it's a bit of a challenge to slow down and stop at the light at 43 and 285) 285 has wagon tracks there is a bad spot between willow wisp and pine junction ( there's a new jeep on its side up against the mountain on the northbound side, 73 is snowpacked but sanded the S curve before Evergreen is slicker than, well pretty slick as you'll see the mountain has tire tracks on it. Warmer here than there 13 degrees in Evergreen and -7 in the valley on 43. Stay safe

285 from Tiny Town through the canyon to C470 is wet but clear, minor slush is areas. Average speed for the 6 cars I traveled amongst at 4:30 AM was 35/40. normal breaklights around curves but no sliding.
C470 to I70 clear, only wet. I70 through Arvada clear, again only wet.

Stay safe and dry out there.
