...PROLONGED WINTER STORM CONTINUES, WITH HISTORIC SNOWFALL IN EASTERN ELBERT AND LINCOLN COUNTIES... .A slow moving winter storm continues to impact the region with multiple rounds of snow. Generally light snow bands will affect the area overnight, but then expect the next wave of heavy snow to impact more of the region Friday and Friday night, and then slowly diminish Saturday morning as the storm exits the region. Heavy snow accumulations have already paralyzed traffic in east central Colorado including much of the I-70 Corridor around Limon and nearby points surrounding that. Significant snow accumulations have occurred across the Palmer Divide and southern Foothills. Additional heavy snow will spread westward across the plains and into the foothills Friday morning, and then continue through Friday night. From this point forward, the heaviest additional snowfall will occur from Denver metro area eastward across the plains of east central Colorado. This, on top of snow that has already accumulated, will result in a historic snowfall around Elbert, Lincoln, and southern Washington Counties where storm total amounts in some of those locations will be near three feet! The Denver metro area will likely see another 7 to 14 inches with the heaviest amounts in southern half of town. Meanwhile, much lighter snow accumulations are likely farther north including Fort Collins, Greeley, and other plains locations north of I-76. Travel will be impossible east and southeast of Denver. Do not travel or expect to travel in those locations through at least Saturday as heavy snow impacts will last long past this storm. If you live in rural areas of eastern Douglas, Elbert, Lincoln, or southern Washington County be prepared to be stranded for several days. * WHAT...Historic snowfall. Heavy wet snow. Additional snow accumulations between 12 and 19 inches, with storm totals near 3 feet in some locations. * WHERE...Limon. * WHEN...Until 5 AM MST Saturday. * IMPACTS...Travel will be impossible on almost all roads. Do not travel. Life threatening conditions will exist.
