GENESEE, Colo. — Heavy snowfall and high winds are expected in the Colorado mountains this weekend, prompting officials to warn travelers of potentially dangerous conditions on the roads. The snow globe effect, a phenomenon where high winds and snowfall combine to create whiteout conditions, poses risks to motorists. Additionally, the fresh snowfall is anticipated to increase traffic along the Interstate 70 corridor, making safe travel essential. Amber Shipley from the Colorado Department of Transportation emphasized the importance of preparedness for travelers braving the severe weather. It is advised to stock vehicles with essentials such as water, food, and entertainment, as extended travel delays may occur. Ensuring operable headlights, maintaining a safe following distance, and exercising patience are vital precautions for navigating through challenging road conditions. Travelers are urged to exercise caution on both mountain roads and areas closer to the city and Eastern Plains, as even minimal snow accumulation could lead to icy road surfaces. With safety as the top priority, travelers are encouraged to stay informed, patient, and prepared while embarking on their journeys in Colorado’s mountainous regions.
