The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has echoed this sentiment and urged drivers to avoid traveling over the weekend due to heavy snowfall expected throughout the state. It really pushes the ability of our folks at CDOT and your local folks of keeping the roads plowed, Gov. Jared Polis (D-Colo.) said during a Thursday news conference about the winter weather. So I encourage you to be at a safe location from shortly after sunrise Saturday through Sunday afternoon.
Polis also said he is activating the National Guard on Friday. There will be about 50 members of the National Guard that can assist with search and rescue included with specialized vehicles for that purpose, Polis said. But let me advise you, you don’t want to be one of those people that has to be searched down and rescued.
