The Colorado Department of Transportation advises travelers to be prepared for treacherous road conditions this week. A storm system will bring waves of significant snow accumulations across western and southern Colorado through Thursday. Significant high country snowfall will make travel difficult, however unfavorable travel conditions will not be limited to only the mountain areas.
Travelers are urged to “know before you go!” Delay travel if possible. If travel is absolutely necessary, check weather and travel resources before hitting the road. Visit COtrip.org for the latest information about potential road closures that may be likely due to this severe snow storm.
This NOAA map shows the most severe impacts expected in the southwest corner of the state — especially in the San Juan Mountains.
Winter weather advisories and warnings have been posted for much of the state. This includes high country passes and mountain communities, as well as highway corridors and cities in lower elevations and valleys.
Be prepared!
