CDOT is advising travelers to stay off of the highways until they can get the roads cleaned up and safe for driving. At this point, heavy snow continues to fall which is making the cleanup that much more difficult.
As this storm makes its way out, another storm is expected to arrive on Wednesday and stick around through Thanksgiving.
