So you will want to take things slow. Colleen ferreira has a look at conditions east of the metro area right now. Well show you how youre helping us tell the story about the storm today. Good morning, everyone. The team is in the backyard. It is snowing. The flakes are big. Its definitely picked up over the last few minutes or so. We do want to let you know that Elbert County School District is on a twohour delay. Its the only one weve heard far. Amelia is going to walk us through the commute. Well start with becky. Its picked up. By 9 00 it looks like it significantly diminishes, but we have this morning drive to get through. And you can see the flakes have definitely gotten bigger in the 9 backyard, right . This is going to continue now for a little bit. Its hard to see downtown denver. Still a clear view of the highway. The band thats swishing through also extends out to the west side of town where heavy snow is hitting the area. This is what it looks like at dia. You can see a little clearer view. Weve got snow reports coming in. Well be going over those in just a few minutes. As for the actual snow, theres the band moving around the city. Its close to aurora. All the way down south, as far south as Highlands Ranch and as far west as golden. We then get a little bit of a break on the north side of the city through places like westminster, but it does pick back up right around longmont. Visibility is going to be lower in the places where we had some of the heavier snow. Be prepared as you are headed out and about. It significantly diminishes with a chance of flurries this afternoon and partial clearing by tonight. When its all said and done, we have another 24 inches to go well talk more about that and the snow totals coming up in just a few minutes. Tarhonda thomas has been out morning. Good morning. Reporter and the road are. As we drove through downtown, roads. Right around here, i25 and lincoln, this is where the interstate starts to get snow packed and the cars start slowing down. I just tweeted video of us navigating through the lanes. I want to show you video too of i25 just north of founders parkway. This is a jackknifed semi truck thats been there for quite a while. You can see the truck just hit the left sidebar roadway cade and now Colorado State patrol says its leaking fuel. Theres no safe spot for us to do it. We couldnt show you the video. You can see whats blocking we did see another truck from the same beverage company. It looks like its unloading the the crashed truck so they can clear it out. As far as how long it can take, we dont know yet. If youre headed in that direction, its going to slow you down. Lets get on the neighborhood streets. Just to let you know, thats where i saw the most ice and is slick conditions. Some of the ice from the storm a couple weeks ago never really melted because its been so cold. Now theres a layer of snow over it. To help you navigate, lets talk to amelia earhart. Good morning. Thats so right. The leftover ice pack can be deceiving on the side streets. Keep that in mind. Also, keep in mind the 25 and parkers accident, the jackknifed truck still causing delays. From the springs or castle rock into the Denver Tech Center or downtown, you will need extra time. The curiosity slowdown will be a major factor. Just the icy and slick up to a tough commute. Its one of the busiest drives. 37 Miles Per Hour, the average. Southbound i70 down to 25. An 18minute commute. Across the board, the slew of accidents is rolling in quickly. I70 crash out to west side of town at 34th avenue just took place. That will cause slowdowns around the curve in both directions. Another crash westbound 70 near peoria. In my next update, well detail the rest of the crashes south of i70. First, we want to head out to our reporter Colleen Ferreira now. Good morning, amelia. 70. I think what you just talked about, we might be seeing some of the affect of that. We have been going westbound for a little bit. Were just starting to slow down a little. I dont see anything just yet, but i do see a lot of brake lights nearing me and off into the distance. Speeds are dramatically taking a dip, almost to 30 Miles Per Hour. The roads here are not bad. A little bit of snow and slush. Very little bit and a little bit of snow falling too, but they dont feel icy. That was the problem on i70 when we were headed the other direction. Same thing, the roads felt great. I70 seems to be okay right now. Were picking up speed again. I do see brake lights in the distance. I will tweet whatever i can see, if i can grab a picture of it safely, i will do that. Weve been everywhere this morning. I25 as you go north, that gets really bad, really snow packed and icy. Longmont, boulder, if youre waking up, its bad out there. Leave yourself plenty of time. The intersections can be slipping and sliding today. Thats for sure. Thank you much. It has been kind of a crazy storm because its snowing really hard in the 90s backyard right now. Over where colleen is, not so much. Theres pockets of snow. Pockets. I noticed it when i was driving a lot of people from the north and the west. We cant have any and all of a sudden you went outside and brought it with you. People are showings. People are showing us. I want to start with what we saw last night. A light snow at the university of denver campus. That was last night. You can see when the snow started falling in that area. This one is my favorite this morning. This is my snow angel. I tried to get greg moss to do the snow angel. He was not having that. Were hoping people will start sending in photos. Even what we saw earlier with tarhonda, this is i15 southbound north of founders parkway. There may not be a lot of snow on the parkways, but even if you get a little bit, its pretty deceiving as youre driving out there this morning. This is from steve. He says its looking good in longmont. What does he say right there . Thats a turkey fryer. We would love to hear from all the folks at home as well. Send us your photos. I love the snow angels. All right. Use the hashtag 9wx, and you will help us cover the storm. Cheryl . Glass shattered at another englewood business overnight. This time the snow helped police catch the suspect. Englewood Police Tracked the suspected burglars footprints in the snow, and then they found him and arrested him. They say the suspect broke into the panda one restaurant. Hes wanted for another smash and grab earlier in the night along hampden. Now, this arrest could be a very big break in the case. Police are now working to find out if this suspect is connected to more than 40 smash and grabs throughout the metro area. A deputy accused of killing cell unit until his trial.

Dia reporting 2. 6 inches of snow. Up around lafayette, a little bit less. 1. 8 inches. Fort collins reporting 2. 5 inches of snow on the ground.

After the break, were going to get you set for the commute the snow has picked up around downtown denver, specifically outside the studios here. You can see its having an impact on the roads, starting to coax them a little more as the heavy snow moves through. Were going to show you the radar in a moment. The other side of the system is the cold. We started off in the upper 20s and low 30s this morning. We have dropped since into the lower to middle 20d. Here around the metro area stretching up through fort collins. This is where we now stay through the remainder of the day. Winter weather advisories remain in place through this afternoon. Theres the heavy band basically circling arvada, goes out to golden. Circles lakewood down to littleton, close to aurora. We get a bit of a break around parts of westminster. It picks back up again with a band from longmont all the way down into brighton. Of course this is all from the system moving in from the southwest. Its settled just south of colorado and will continue to very quickly push to the east. So the snow the worst of it takes us to about 9 00, 9 30. There you can see it disappears after 9 00. By 3 00 well have mostly cloudy skies. The heaviest snow by far will be in southeast colorado near springfield and trinidad. 9 30 tonight, still a lot of clouds, perhaps flurries in the area. Overnight we get the partial clearing, and we stay cold. 24 degrees will be daytime pictures. 22 in greeley. 20s and 30s in the eastern plains. Weve got another 24inches of snow to go before this thing wraps up. Then tonight, still in the 20s tomorrow. With a high of 33. Were actually close to 50 by wednesday of next week. Considering the snow has picked up, amelia, i guess it made the roads rough too. Absolutely. Were looking forward to the warmer temps. In the meantime, you have to gear up for todays drive.

We wanted to check in with cdot. Bob, a little ice and snow out there can cause all kinds of havoc in the morning. Oh, yeah. I mean, you get the ice, you get the snow, and then you get the additional traffic, throw in a couple of accidents, and its going to be a slow go in a lot of areas, probably most this morning. You know, bob, when we were driving in, a lot of the roads were just wet. Now that its been coming down and its 25 degrees, its going to be icing over. Seeing more ice now. It is. Were going to start seeing more ice on the roadways. It will help that we have a little more traffic. With more traffic comes more slowdowns.

Colorado state patrol says several vehicles were involved in this. A couple of them stayed on the scene. It looks like they have this accident cleaned up. That direction, just to be sure.
