Snow is beautiful, snow is fun, but not if you have to drive very far in it. Actually, at the time the snow is falling, unless it's a blizzard/whiteout, the driving on most east-slope Colorado roads isn't too bad. But during the next several days, especially if the temps go above freezing during the day and it all refreezes at night, then it can be unpleasant or even dangerous. In this situation, the snow has melted and refrozen during the night so you have a layer of ice on the road and no traction. Fortunately, for retirees, most of the time it is not necessary to go out, and the roads are plowed really quickly, so one is not trapped at home for too long. The photo above was taken near Allenspark, Colorado, during a nice drive on a (lightly) snowy day.
