"Blizzard Conditions and Heavy Snow Shut Down Colorado Highways"

Several highways in Colorado, including Rabbit Ears, Muddy, and Berthoud passes, were closed due to blizzard conditions, with slick and snow-covered roadways and limited visibility. Loveland and Vail passes had one direction of travel closed. The closures were caused by heavy snowfall and high winds, creating unsafe conditions. Ski areas reported over a foot of snow, but the Colorado Avalanche Information Center issued warnings and discouraged backcountry recreation. No serious accidents were reported, and some passes have since reopened.
