Delegates of the hundreds committed. Martin omalley dropped out after a poor showing tonight. 9news political reporter Brandon Rittiman is in iowa. The snow is going full bore tonight. I70 has been closed just east of dia all the way to kansas. Kathy is standing by and well have more on the forecast. Were also keeping an eye on school closings. We just heard from Denver Public schools. There will be a one hour delay only for schools that normally start at 8 30 a. M. Or later. No other major districts in the metro area have announced cancellations for tomorrow at least at this point. However, eagle county canceled classes for only the third time since the 1990s. What closings we have so far youll find on 9news. Com. Much Better Weather tonight in san jose, california, where temperatures are in the 50s tonight. In the bay area. Media night was the big event this evening. Each team spent an hour answering questions. Well go out to the west coast in a few minutes. Earlier today three of four buses carrying the broncos were in a fender bender coming back after practice. Court. It set up a domino effect. The other three buses bumped into each other. No one was hurt. Its coming down hard right now on campus of csu up in fort collin, the winter storm in full force there the last few hours, slick conditions for the drive home turning i25 into a mess. Close to the metro a lot of people are making the smart decision to stay off the roads tonight and the snow is starting to stick unlike earlier today. The morning drive is looking more and more difficult by the hour. Kathy sabine is in the Weather Center with a closer look at the storm. While not overly impressive the snow and ice is accumulating now and gusty drifting east of denver and road closures expected. Well over a foot of snow in the foothills already with 5 to 7 of snow across Douglas County area. Colder temperatures, ice and snow is sticking on the roadways and were monitoring the wind out east for potential blizzard conditions. Winter weather travel advisories extend across 12 states, a Severe Weather threat east of us with heavy snow bands wrapping back in from the east toward the west over denver, took all day to get that easterly wind flow going and now its here and the heaviest snow is falling west of i25 and east of limon and a gate where additional accumulation amounts are in the 4 to 8inch range. Advisories continue for the northern mountains into the Early Morning hours as well and your earl morning commute will be problematic with about 4 inches of snow on the ground now and another 4 to 6 by early tomorrow morning. We do expect things to really improve as early as 9 a. M. , but outside now you cant even see the lames and what wind we do have is lanes and what wind we do have is creating blowing and drifting in the city. Bitter cold temperatures heading out the door tomorrow and coming up in our main weather segment well detail the overnight snow forecast and talk about the clearing skies tuesday, look ahead to a warmer weekend forecast and then a forecast for a little Football Game coming up sunday. Heard something about that. Thanks. Roads are slippery and snowpacked. Around 5 30 this evening seven cars collided on parker road near c470 in parker. Four people went to the hospitals with minor to moderate injuries. 9news reporter Victoria Sanchez was at that scene and is now in a 9news vehicle in the tech conditions. Victoria . Reporter hi, adele. We are about to come up to orchard road. The roads are snowpacked and slushy in some spots. The same for c470 which we there are not a whole lot of people on the road. Well keep an eye on it and waiting for the snowplow to come through i25 north bound. Back to you. All right. Take care. Thanks. Iowas caucuses do not mean much if you ask the candidates who lose. The Iowa Caucuses are key if you ask the candidates who win. Ted cruz outperformed expectations tonight, credit perhaps to his strong field operations. The traditional approach was shunned by donald trump who failed to perform as expected. Marco rubio finished third. Youd think he won. Its the expectations game and he beat them by a mile. On the democratic side its as close as it could get to a 50 50 split, Hillary Clinton with a slim lead over Bernie Sanders leading him by four delegates of the hundreds out there, Martin Omalley with a very disappointing finish. Our Brandon Rittiman is in iowa tonight and we are beginning to hear from the winners and the losers. Reporter absolutely, kyle. You mentioned omalley, he dropped out tonight. So it literally is just a two now as we head into the next states. Bernie sanders is pulling way ahead of Hillary Clinton in new hampshire. Him walking out of here with what he called a virtual tie really set him up to be a viable candidate heading into both nevada and South Carolina and eventually colorado. Were one month away from today. Lets hear a little bit from Hillary Clinton who declared victory and Bernie Sanders who declared it a virtual tie. Tonight is a victory for courageous conservatives across iowa and all across this great nation. We will go on to get the republican nomination and we will go on to easily beat hillary or bernie or whoever the hell they throw up there. As i stand here tonight, breathing a big sigh of relief, thank you, iowa [ cheering and applause ] keep doing what i have done my entire life. I will keep standing up for you. We had no money. We had no name recognition and we were taking on the most powerful Political Organization in the United States of america. [ cheering and applause ] and tonight while the results are still not known, it looks like we are in a virtual tie. [ cheering and applause ] reporter okay. So a little bit of a cross wire on the soundbites, but we did get to the ones on the democratic side of the ledger. Obviously you could hear from Bernie Sanders supporters, that virtual tie as good as a win for him heading out of 0 with and then yes, on the of iowa and then yes, on the republican side all three candidates are viable go with me, ted cruz finishing first, donald trump finishing second and, of course, were rounding out the field after that. So were headed into colorado where weve got very competitive races on both sides of the ticket. Of course, we talked about this in the past, kyle, when we get to the colorado caucuses one month away from today, the republicans wont be choosing a winner. The state Republican Party in colorado opted not to have a president ial preference poll. So they will pick delegates. That is going to lead to delegates that will eventually go to the National Convention for the republicans, but on the democratic side there will be high stakes heading into colorado as long as things stay as close as they looked in iowa tonight. Of course, brandon, we know that could make colorado a potential kingmaker if there is a contested convention and if then, i suppose we dont get a say this year at least as the not. Brandon rittiman in iowa for us thank you. Super bowl week started with a primetime event. Super bowl media day was a three hour party with the teams taking questions from hundreds of reporters. Fans paid more than 25 just to get inside the arena in san jose to watch it. The biggest interview may not have happened in that room. 9news reporter rod mackey joins us from the bay area with that. Rod . Reporter thats right, adele. We were at Opening Night what theyre calling media nowadays, but with so many cameras and so many reporters we wanted to see how inside broncos insider mike klis could actually get and he got Peyton Manning all by his lonesome. Hes going to play till his 70. Belichick will coach till hes 90. Maybe i hit the fountain of youth in the next couple months and play another 10 years, but in case its the last time i play a championship, this could be, no definite and something about telling them man to man, it was reactionary. You media folks are all over the field. You barely have time to move or talk to anybody. So i just took the time to tell those guys it was what i felt at that particular time. Now all of the broncos were available and all did answer questions, but most of those questions were about peyton. Hes never been a distraction, any of that stuff thats went on with him. Hes a pro. He handles all this stuff. It really hasnt even been any talk about it. Weve just been staying in the moment and doing what we do and playing our game. And its a game that miller said he wants to win for peyton and for Demarcus Ware and selfishly for himself and it would be way lot better for us media and fans if they win as well. Almost everybody is rooting for the broncos. I think a lot of us are going Peyton Manning at tone vision that one. Thanks to envision that one. Thanks, rod. There is new information about the weekend shooting coliseum. Denver coliseum. Crash after crash in the snow, were talking to the the roads. Kathy is back with the forecast and when the snow will the department of corrections says 33yearold Derrick Duran was involved in a shooting at the Denver Coliseum that left 1 man dead and several others hurt. The agency said duran is the corrections officer at the denver complex who has been on the job since may, 2012. Saturday afternoon Denver Police say a fight broke out between two motorcycle clubs, the iron order and the mongols. An attorney for the mongols he claims that photo was taken of duran moments before the shooting. Duran is on administrative leave with pay. He was placed on an investigative hold saturday for first Degree Assault and released of Denver Police say they have not made a formal arrest. This morning i25 and highway 287 were roads in northern colorado. They became nothing more than snowy trails by days end, crash after crash reported up there. 9news reporter steve seager checks in with the drivers who headed out when the rest of us stayed in. Reporter i want to give you a quick update of what the conditions are like in den. You can tell pretty well from this brick wall behind me about 4 inches on the ground. We will admit since we were out here at 9 00, the snow has really picked up and actually speer boulevard has a little bit more snow. The cars going by are moving pretty slowly. Now cdot drivers are now on 12 hour shifts called snow shifts shift started. We hit the road with Jorge Fernandez on the 3 00 to 3 00 shift. His route takes him along gun club road in aurora. He sees everything out there on the roads including all the accidents and he also has to deal with those drivers who dont want to play nice or dont know how to drive around plows. We asked him what he wishes drivers would or wouldnt do when they are near his plow. Dont try to pass the trucks. If you are going to let us know, very careful because there was a lot of times theres a lot of ice. Reporter you heard him there. Dont pass the plow. He also says just because you have a 4 by 4 car with four wheel drive does not mean you can treat conditions like this like theres no snow on the ground. Be careful with that. If you were wondering where any of the snowplows are, cdot has an app this tracks them all. We have a link to it on 9news. Com. Kathy, im trying very hard to and go build a snowman right now. At least make a snow angel. You make those so well and im sure youve noticed since we were out here last hour the wind has really picked up creating the swirling and blowing snow out here and temperatures are starting to fall outside as steve mentioned. Roads are icy and snowpacked, visibility reduced. Looking at the four snow models all in alignment with about 4 to 8 inches of additional accumulation by 9 00 tomorrow morning when the storm winds down. I expect we wont see more than 6 in the city with the heaviest snow bands shifting to the east. The areas in yellow is where we anticipate the heaviest snow to fall. Once the storm exits colorado tomorrow morning, it will become an ice storm for our neighbors to east. The yellow and orange is a forecast for 8 to 10 inches of snow. Some of that will fall as ice off to the east. Denver is on the western fringe of some of the heavier snow as of circulation where temperatures in Southeastern Colorado were fairly mild today and a lot of snow initially mentalling, just wet and sloppy early on melting, just wet and sloppy early on but not now. 22 degrees in the backyard, radar showing the bands wrapping back in from the southeast up against the front range foothills with the heavier snow band west along i i25. Bands coming up from the southeast pushing back towards the northwest, but on the Eastern Plains out toward fort morgan were getting reports of gusty winds, blowing snow and 3 to 4foot drifts, so travel not advised on eastbound i70 tonight, many road closures that way already, i76 becoming problematic as well. Denver remains under a winter storm warning tomorrow. Winter weather advisories out for 1 2 a foot of snow across the avalanche danger is increasing with all the heavy snow and wind tonight. Storm is a rapid mover heading east creating Severe Weather outside cincinnati and down to atlanta tomorrow accident backside of it northwest flow will cut off the snow moving drier air starting to work in by 9 a. M. Overnight tonight the heavier snow bands push into denver and shift east gradually. You will have icy and snowpacked roadways, 4 to 5 inches of snow on the ground. Well double that number by the time you head out. We get some afternoon clearing, a cold night tomorrow, darker purple areas where the heavier snow bands are lifting from the southeast coming back in. 4 30 a. M. A slow drive, maybe some school delays, business delays. Its going to take some time to catch up on the roads. Things will rapidly improve tomorrow. This system does not linger. Lows Single Digits in mountains, teens on the plains tonight, gusty winds increasing conditions from akron to limon tonight. The gusty northwest wind will make it feel a whole lot colder than the fahrenheit numbers. We remain under a winter storm warning until noon tomorrow in denver with a total of 4 additional inch of accumulation, snow understanding midmorning, clearing by midafternoon ending midmorning, clearing by midafternoon. Unsettled on the backside of the storm a few flurries wednesday into thursday, a high 51 saturday. We cool off here on sunday. After tomorrow this is really our main storm system that were dealing with here for the next nine days. Lets look at santa clara, sunshine, 71 for the super bowl.

The broncos took an early lead by arriving in California First yesterday and then this evening at the first ever super bowl Opening Night event both teams were introduced.

Panthers seemed much looser so were all tied at 1 High Pressure 1, a close game 1 1, a close game as the broncos like it and were live, 9news reporter rod mackey is live at the hotel in santa clara. Hi, rod. Reporter were here with 53 broncos players plus the practice squad and injured players.

Carolina panthers quarterback cam newton answered hundreds of questions tonight but none more important than the one about those zebra print versace pants. Its super bowl l. The mantra of the super bowl is black and gold. What i had in my closet was extremely limited. Cam had no choice. It wasnt that he wanted to wear those pants. He had no choice. It was the only black and gold lets spend a moment talking about inaccurate weather predictions. How is it possible to be right 40 of the time and keep your job . According to legend, if phil doesnt see his shadow, there will be an early spring, but since 1887 phil and his predecessors have been wrong 60 of the time. Kathy . Kathy .
