Flurries coat car windshields and rooftops across Denver this morning as steady snow continues through the day, blanketing roads and reducing visibility along I-25 and I-70. The air feels damp and biting, with light fog hugging the Front Range and temperatures holding near freezing.
According to the National Weather Service in Boulder, a Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 6 p.m. MST today for Denver, Boulder, Castle Rock, and the Palmer Divide. Total accumulations between 3 and 6 inches are expected, with localized 8-inch totals near the foothills. Wind speeds near 8 mph may create drifting snow and slick patches, especially at intersections and ramps.
Drivers should expect slow travel, particularly during the afternoon and evening commute, as melting snow refreezes into icy stretches. The NWS urges travelers to use caution and allow extra stopping distance. Visibility may drop below a quarter mile during heavier bursts, especially in eastbound lanes of I-70 and across C-470.
By Thursday, skies will clear and temperatures will climb into the upper 30s, followed by sunshine and milder air through Friday. The weekend looks mostly dry, though cold mornings will linger — perfect for early Christmas lights and neighborhood events but still chilly for travel.
Meteorologists note another system could brush northern Colorado early next week, but no major impacts are expected yet.
Plan for slushy roads this morning and possible refreeze tonight. Travel safely and share local snow totals — how deep is it in your yard today?
