As the storm continues to exit the area, conditions will continue to improve. Some lingering snow and blowing snow will exist over north and northeast El Paso County, but the main storm impacts are headed east. Clearing will also take place for some of us tonight, and that means a very cold start to the day on Friday. Roads will be slick and the commute will be slow. However, the bulk of the day should be much better than the past two days.
The nicer day Friday paves the way for a great weekend. Enjoy the nice weather while it lasts...

my wife and i are both retired. i've lived here for 30 plus years and love it here. especially when it snows. we have our hot choclate and rolls and stay warm. we watch tv and listen to the reports about all the IDIOTS that don't know how to drive n bad weather. you would think that these people would know bEtter but i reckon not. and more importantly people don't know where the lite switch is. it really helps to see the other vehicles around you. o well,,,i hope everyone has a nice day,,,,,,,,,ummmmmmmmmm,,i think i'll go have a nap now. GOOD DAY TO YA

WOW: Yes i am well aware that the normal flu has taken the lives of many, but the swine flu is moving rapidly and taking lives more quickly. and with both flu's most victims had underlying health problems, but why chance your child going to school and possibly contracting "any" flu when you don't have to! When im sick i don't go to work! i take into consideration everyone else who would have to be around my sniffling, sneezing and couching all day, and in the end their health isn't worth contaminating! share your toys, not your germs! i can see from another perspective of yes, put all the sick ones together with the healthy so they can all get it and get over it, but a child's immune system isn't that strong and there is no need to risk it...swine flu or seasonal flu! all who are sick i hope you get to feeling better, and for those who aren't hope you keep healthy and don't catch whats going around!

With common sense and taking enough time to get places; commuting shouldn't be an issue. Just play it safe. If you don't have to go out then don't! This is the time of year when the flu is going around, and yes people do die from the reg. flu and you shouldn't send your children to school if they are sick, but with the new flu out there it is better to be safe than sorry. If your child is healthy and hasn't been sick then keep them home if the sick kiddos are attending...no need to come in contact with this stuff if you don't have to! no need to bash people who think that its wise to send their healthy kids to school with the ill ones! "procreate" all you want! Native do you have children? are you itching to get them off your hands and back in school so you can shirk your parental responsibilities? really hope not! take precaution and prevent the worst! hope everyone enjoys this normal winter weather! it is CO after all!
