The Colorado Department of Transportation urged drivers to stay off the roads on Colorado’s Front Range, in the foothills and on the Eastern Plains. They described the road conditions as “treacherous” just about everywhere.

“Do not consider going out unless your vehicle is equipped for the snow,” CDOT wrote in a news release. “Winter tires with adequate tread is essential. You must take it slow, do not pass plows, leave a safe space behind the vehicle ahead and expect road closures. ”

The highest snow totals have been in the foothills of Boulder and Larimer Counties where amounts have approached 3 feet in some areas.

The Colorado National Guard has also been called in to help with the response to the storm andwas on standby Tuesday morning.

A rock slide near Idaho Springsclosed Interstate (westbound) in the morning and the closure was expected to last a long time. A fatal crash alsotook place on I – 70 near Avonin the snowy conditions.

You probably could have guessed it, but the few school districts that were scheduled to have classes on Tuesday have pretty muchall canceled school.

The snow will quickly clear by Tuesday evening. In the wake of the storm, we will be left behind with bitter cold temperatures. We’ll drop to the single digits on Tuesday night. We will be cold but dry on Thanksgiving. And then we’re watching another storm on Friday that is heading our way.
