This is one of those areas that didnt look bad, but underneath the area of snow, there was a sheet of of ice. Earlier a school bus was stopped at a stop sign, there were students on the bus, but nobody was injured after a car rearended it. A short time later just a few feet away there was another crash. This time a driver slammed into the back of a parked Denver Police cruiser. There was no one in there, it was just parked along side of the road. The driver was cited for not only driving too fast for conditions, but also not having as i mentioned since those accident happened around 8 00 this morning, i have seen a plow go through, also a City Employee putting sand out in this area.

You can see that layer of snow over the highway. Moving along fairly well. Not too much congestion as the early hours. If you are outtthere, there can be ice under there. The snow makes it hard to stop and the visibility is the poor thing here.
