DENVER (KDVR) — Heavy snow and strong winds swept across the Colorado high country on Sunday, causing slippery roads and poor visibility. Some roads have been closed by the Colorado Department of Transportation for safety and other reasons.
CDOT announced Saturday that safety closures were likely to occur through Sunday due to the impending storm, especially along the Interstate 70 corridor.
FOX31 will provide updates throughout the day as changes occur.
