25 and castle pines parkway. Good morning, what are conditions like . Reporter good morning, britt. It is really icy out now, especially the on and off ramps. Within the metro area pretty dry. Behind me along i25, huge glare on the road right now. Definitely very icy. As we got further south of town, south of lincoln, it got progressively worse built up on the highways. Take it slow this morning. I want to show you what conditions were like yesterday after that snow finally stopped. Youre looking at video from i 25 in douglas county. We had trucks backed up for miles. It was a huge traffic jam yesterday afternoon. After that snow stopped falling and that ice started building up, froze to the highway. Trucks backed up for a while. And i have a feeling that as morning, its going to look pretty similar out. That snow is nice, wet and heavy yesterday as it was falling. Then it froze to the roads. Right now what were looking at, 20 degrees. It was just 17. Its been fluctuating a little bit. Mobile weather lab shows its 20 degrees. Feels cold out now. Were going to continue to keep an eye on traffic as it builds up. We have obviously the ground level view here, but for a little bit more detail on what were looking at, lets check in with joel for the traffic. We had the 80s, so as the snow began to fall, it just melted right away. Then all of a sudden temperatures dipped into the 20s and you saw it freeze up, all the moisture that was on the roadway that melted and it became an icy mess. We have not seen enough sunshine or daytime heating to compensate for that. The see that sheen on the there. But its hard to distinguish between the chemicals and ice. Right now no accidents that are showing up on the map at least. But that is going to change. Got the city of boulder that is on an accident alert still this morning. The drive along 285 is a little bit of a mess, along i70 chain and passenger traction restrictions in place at the higher elevations. A lot of folk probably looking at traveling into the high country this mornin get set for thanksgiving week. Boy, it might be best to hang on until tomorrow until we can get daytime heating to dry things up on the roads. Ashton, unfortunately you get on those places exposed, winds come and icy. Makes for a tough go in some areas. We will have a lot of sunshine, so by the end of the day the road situation should be much improved and we wont deal with this morning and icy spots, but theres no new snow. Even in the high country. 22 at cbs4 this morning. 18 Commerce City. 17 brighton. 19 in thornton. This is without a doubt the coldest morning so far this season. Some mountain areas are colder, leadville at 8, alamosa, its 6 degrees outside. Heres the forecast, by 9 00 a. M. Here in the metro area well be at 26. By , thats it, despite full sunshine all the cold air associated with yesterdays storm system lingers and we cant warm up until tomorrow and the weekend, looks good. Saturday and sunday. Well show you that weekend forecast coming up. Unbelievable. Dia is trying to recover after they had a hard time de icing planes quickly enough. People were delayed several hours last night because of morning. Shawn, good morning. How are things moving . Reporter britt, good morning. It definitely looks like they have made some improvements from overnight, checking in at the united counter we can see the departures and arrivals. All the departures on time. As more people are coming in and checking in the security line behind me here is moving as fast as it can, but fi for a friday morning its not surprising to see there are so many people here and of course waiting to go through the tsa line. What we always like to watch is that corner there. If folks have to get out of this main pen and go into the hallway, thats our first sense the tsa line is perhaps a little bit longer than we might want. Hearing some of the staff here, theyre saying this is pretty much the situation at all three tsa locations. Give yourself some time. This may be weatherrelated or friday morning. Either way, you are going to want to have extra time to get through tsa because at least for now, it is quite busy. We of course will remain at the airport throughout the morning checking out the different locations and keeping you posted on how things are going. Live at dia, shawn chitness, cbs4 morning news.
