I-70 Partially Closed Between Morrison & Silverthorne For Snowy Conditions
MORRISON, Colo. (CBS4) - A large stretch of Interstate 70 closed Monday night as a snow storm barreled down onto Colorado and its high country. At one point, Colorado State Patrol said the closure spans from Morrison to Silverthorne.
At around 9:30 p.m., the Colorado Department of Transportation says westbound lanes are closed at Morrison while eastbound lanes are closed at Silverthorne.
It's not clear when the closures will lift.
UPDATE: I-70 CLOSED in BOTH directions between Morrison and Silverthorne due to adverse weather conditions. Travel is not advised.#cotraffic https://t.co/gdsnwTu0iZ

The National Weather Service office in Boulder reports at least 10 inches of snow near Jamestown, west of Boulder. They say some of the reports were a couple of hours old, so totals will surely increase.
