Much of Colorado is under a layer of powder as it was hit with snow showers overnight, creating hazardous conditions for drivers. The weather is still in the area with chances for more snow Friday evening and again on Monday.

Winter made a comeback, #Denver. If you gotta hit the road this AM, commute safely and remember:

✔ Don't leave your car running unattended
✔ Do clear lights, windows & mirrors
✔ Do turn your lights on
✔ Do allow for extra stopping distance pic.twitter.com/c7dbuC4PQo

Interstate 70 is open as of just after 8 a.m. It was closed for poor weather conditions from Limon to Burlington for hours earlier in the morning.

U.S. Highway 36 is closed in each direction from Last Chance to Kansas state line due to winter driving conditions are poor. CDOT says to expect long delays or seek an alternate route.

A crash is slowing down the westbound lanes on Highway 36 at 92nd Avenue in Westminster.

An earlier crash on Interstate-25 and Colorado Boulevard which has been cleared is still leaving heavy delays near the Denver Tech Center.

Side streets around the state are covered in wet snow. This has caused downed power lines on streets in Denver, closing 14th Street through Capitol Hill.

There is a variety of road conditions across North Central Colorado this morning. For the latest road report from CDOT call 511 or go to their website at https://t.co/uoUwxQG40f. #cowx pic.twitter.com/TOTlinJeq1

There are chain and traction laws for much of the high country roads. Commercial vehicles not chaining up caused a major back up early this morning near Floyd Hill.

Eastbound I-70 Idaho Springs

You want me write how many tickets to truckers without chain? I can't even see the end of line!
