Winter Storm

Add Westbound I-70 from Federal Blvd closed due multi accidents.

Just left the area of I-25 and the Mead exit, and traffic was at a stand still, due to semi's trying to climb the hill Northbound. So traffic was getting off at Mead exit and using frontage road northbound. That was also turning into a problem with cars sliding off since lane reconition and white conditions up north.

DIA is cancelling alot of flights today..United was 140 flights, South West was 85. And so on.

Sounds like they have snow trucks that just went through the I-25 going north of the Mead exit up the hill is open, and they are now trying to get the highway traffic going again.

Littleton Ladder-16 was just struck on C-470 and a Castle Rock Engine was hit on I-25, trying to close I-25 around Castle Pines / Castle Rock as well.

So Jim does this mean the metro areas won't be getting the 12+ inches they said?

Broomfield closing their EOC, however it sounds like HWY 121 (Wadsworth) is still closed over HWY 36.

Anyone have a status on Hwy 36?

Thanks for the warning guys. We here in eastern Kansas are going to get hit real bad tommorow morning. We looked at what happened to you and we are hoping it's not that bad here. How bout we send you some of our tornadoes this year?
