Hazardous travel conditions are expected across the region, with snow-covered roads making driving dangerous. Travelers are urged to slow down, allow extra time, and check road updates via Colorado’s 511 hotline or CoTrip.org.
The snowfall adds to an already challenging winter season, particularly for higher elevations and mountain passes. Residents and visitors are advised to remain cautious and prepare for potential delays or closures.
