If you're headed up Cameron Pass or into Rocky Mountain National Park this week, plan on a snowy drive. The weather service issued winter weather advisories for Larimer, Boulder, Grand and Jackson counties, among others. Forecasters wrote that snow will create “hazardous conditions,” especially on mountain passes.
Down along I-25, it's a different story. The Denver Gazette reports the expected scenario, an 80% chance, brings pretty much no snow along the I-25 corridor, and the Denver Post says no snow is forecast for the Denver area.
