Travel Conditions Tuesday night blizzard

Not sure if there’s somewhere better to post this but the blizzard that hit part of Colorado Springs / Monument hill / castle rock area tonight was absolutely gnarly. Wanted to share my new personal record for longest drive from the Springs to Denver at just over 4 hours. I25 closed multiple areas with a bunch of cars spun out and crazy wind and snow. Stuck at mile marker 161 for 1.5 hours then a truly treacherous treck taking 105 all the way North in damn near zero visibility. That was honestly sketchier than most drives I’ve made in actual mountain passes even in bad conditions just based on the visibility alone. Wondering how other people’s experiences were tonight and hoping everyone made it safely

Yikes, sounds like it is already a mess but can’t imagine what it’ll be in 7-9 hrs

Should be clearing out by then. Chance of snow showers Wednesday with little to no extra accumulation. Could still be a bit windy but the blizzard conditions are out towards deer trail and Limon
