| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | An early spring storm system moving across Wyoming and into northern Colorado brought more snow to portions of the northeast. Several accidents occurred along the I-70 corridor between Frisco and Copper Mountain as roads became snowpacked and slick. The accidents resulted in several injuries and one fatality. Snowfall totals in the North Central Mountains and Front Range Foothills included: 10 inches at Breckenridge, 9 inches at the Mount Evans Research Station, 7 inches one mile east of Buckhorn Mountain, 5 inches at Evergreen, with 4 inches reported at Keystone and Winter Park. Heavy snow over the Palmer Divide caused snowpacked and slick road conditions to develop by afternoon. One woman was killed when she lost control of her vehicle along Colorado Highway 82 near Castle Rock. By late afternoon, Larkspur received a total of 5 inches of snow while Elizabeth reported 4 inches. |
