DENVER – A slow-moving autumn storm showed no signs of letting up in Colorado and the western Plains on Thursday, blanketing areas already buried with as much as 3 feet, closing schools and businesses and delaying flights.
Roads across Colorado and Wyoming were snow-packed and icy from the first big winter storm of the season in the West, and the snow’s not likely to let up anytime soon. The storm spread a blanket of white from northern Utah’s Wasatch Front to western Nebraska’s northern border with South Dakota.
“There’s definitely some adverse driving conditions right now, and it’s expected to continue throughout a good portion of the day,” said Bob Wilson, a Colorado Department of Transportation spokesman. Wilson said although some cars are sliding off roads, not many accidents had been reported.
In Colorado, U.S. Highway 6 is closed to Loveland Pass, while a 35-mile span of Interstate I-25 is closed from Wellington to Cheyenne. Wilson said the closure is to prevent traffic congestion going into Wyoming, where driving conditions are worse than in northern Colorado. A 40-mile stretch of Interstate 80 is closed from Cheyenne to Laramie.
Wyoming officials said they’d had reports of about 70 crashes, most of them on I-80, before deciding to close the road.
