The weather has been warm and sunny in Colorado the last four days. Pretty sure the roads are good everywhere in the state right now.

 

Shouldn't be a problem. You'll likely find some run off, but that's about it. If you're going west, the right lane above the last left-hand hairpin often has ice from run off freezing, but it's been 2 weeks since I've been over, so YMMV. It's 3 lanes right there, so you can grab the left if it's bad.

 

Wide open as of 5am MT.

 

Next storm is due to hit Sunday through Monday evening, snowfall on most mountain passes will be measured in feet, especially along US 40, I-70 and US 50.

 

Oh, oh, better hunker down. I can say without reservation, this has got to be the toughest region to predict weather. It changes hourly. When Monarch gets clobbered, we don't get a flake.
