Snow is starting to fall fast on Colorado's Front Range – just in time for rush hour traffic. The National Weather Service has warned the public about possible impacts, including limited visibility on roads and expected travel delays.
While the National Weather Service (NWS) isn't calling for much ice on the roads, they are calling for extremely limited visibility due to snow. Snow is expected to fall at about one to two inches per hour, pulling visibility back to potentially less than a quarter mile. This will likely make travel dangerous. The NWS has urged those on the Front Range and in the northern and central mountains to avoid travel as conditions worsen.
Hour-by-hour forecasts around much of the impacted area show a high likelihood of snow falling throughout the night.

This snow is going to be wet and heavy, likely to weigh down tree limbs and result in damage to branches. Avoid parking under, walking under, or standing under trees.
