From CSP Public Affairs 9 hours ago
Hint before bedtime: the roads are still going to be bad in the morning, so plan your commute tonight. Get plenty of rest, be patient, plan on a longer drive time, and leave plenty of space. Monday...yippie.

Looks slippery on Windy Point, there's a car that just slid into the median and bounced back out into the left lane. Traction and chain laws are in effect.

Snow is starting to accumulate from Windy Point down to Turkey Creek Canyon. Just wet for now in Conifer and to the west, but that may change as temps drop. Please be careful if you have to head out. mymountaintown.com/weather-traffic

Plows and sand have been requested from CDOT.

It took a FOMMT (Friend of MMT) over an hour to get from Turkey Creek Canyon to home off of N Turkey Creek Rd. Please stay home unless absolutely have no other choice. Hwy 285 is a parking lot with slide offs from Morrison to Windy Point.

Per CSP_Golden: CDOT reporting semi's stuck on US 285 just west of Morrison (MP247). Southbound blocked (WB) completely. S1
