Oh, it's just stressful hearing about
all that, isn't it? And you know what?
If you are traveling by car,
you need to make sure your car is in
good running order, has plenty of gas,
and you pack a blanket, warm clothing,
ice scraper, snow shovel,
and maybe some food and water.
You just never know if that
car is going to break down.
And if it does in this kind of a situation,
that's going to create some
big problems for you.
So be thinking about that.
The cold front is here.
It is moving into northeastern Colorado.
These are current temperatures.
Denver was 50 degrees today.
DIA. Best reported 17 degrees.
It's 4IN Greeley, 11 in Fort Collins.

You look off toward the east
and you look toward the north
and you're starting to see that.
Yeah, there are some changes
afoot now in the high country.
It's been snowing all day and the worst
is yet to come with areas of blowing snow,
wind chill warnings,
winter storm warnings,
and you can already see impacting travel.
As we look live at the Johnson
Eisenhower Tunnel corridor,
where there is a lot of
snow and reduced visibility.
The winter solstice today welcome.

Please keep your pets indoors,
take the snow and ice out of their
paws and make sure that outdoor
animals have adequate shelter from
the wind and adequate water in
a dangerous scenario like this.
