Lingering Wind & Snow Force I-70 Closure Out East
BURLINGTON, Colo. (CBS4) - Part of Interstate 70 was closed again for about 90 minutes on the Eastern Plains because of lingering bad weather.
It was reopened at around 12:45 p.m.
The Colorado Department of Transportation announced both directions of I-70 at Burlington were closed until the Kansas state line.
Meanwhile, CBS4 Meteorologist Chris Spears found an unfortunate result of turning on your sprinklers too early in Colorado.
Ummmmmm.... someone doesn't realize we don't turn sprinklers on in Colorado until May or June.... duh!! Seen today in SE Aurora along Quincy. #COwx #4wx pic.twitter.com/qWUcASgoJd

Colorado fire officials with the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control planned to launch one of their airplanes, a MMA328, to northeastern Colorado to help find stranded motorists.
They say they plan on searching in five different counties.
