11

If you’re planning to hit the roads, think again! A brutal winter mix of snow, ice, and dense fog is gripping parts of Colorado, making driving conditions treacherous. Up to 4 inches of fresh snow, freezing fog, and strong winds will continue to create slick roads and near-zero visibility through 1 PM MST today. This storm isn’t just a nuisance—it’s a real danger for drivers.

 

What’s Happening?

  • Snowfall: 1 to 4 inches expected, with heavier amounts at higher elevations.
  • Freezing Fog: A thin layer of ice may glaze roads, bridges, and sidewalks, making surfaces extremely slippery.
  • Winds: Gusts up to 40 mph could cause blowing snow and whiteout conditions in open areas.

Who’s Most Affected?

  • Northern & Southern El Paso County – Including Colorado Springs, Monument Ridge, and surrounding areas.
  • Teller County & Pikes Peak Region – Snow-packed roads and reduced visibility expected.
  • Pueblo County – Cold temperatures will make icy conditions persist.

What This Means for You

  • Morning and Afternoon Commutes Will Be Dangerous – Expect significant slowdowns and possible road closures.
  • Black Ice Risk on Roads and Sidewalks – Freezing fog may leave a thin, invisible layer of ice, making surfaces extremely hazardous.
  • Flight Delays Possible – If you’re traveling, check for delays at Denver and Colorado Springs airports.
