Sounds like this storm is more Ikonic than Epic?

Shit is an equal opportunity storm.

I often listen to the scanner for entertainment purposes during storms. The mutual lack of coordination and even basic information sharing between CSP and CDOT is comical. They themselves even make jokes about it with dispatch.

I've done the same. Listen to Eagle County scanner and you'll hear the snow plow drivers on Vail Pass talking shit about the moron drivers!

The Eagle 500 was a rough one this morning. I70 EB closed at Avon.
Sounds like the bridge near the Walmart was icy af, as always

[The SnowShow]

All the EB wrecks must be commuters. Just wait till the skier traffic hits.....right about now.

[core2]

More and more carnage every season...

Couple sent to Avon as well I believe.
One that went to Vail was a VFD guy that had stopped to help a motorist and was struck. In ICU but stable with a long road ahead. A really good dude that this should have never happened to except for the fuckhead that hit him for whatever lame reason. jfc

what f'ing BS - what is wrong with inter-staters?? every time im anywhere near a freeway backup, I pull as far into the right ditch as possible...yeah, a freak, but this one in a million chance isnt worth taking. have pseudo yelled at the wife for not doing the same.

[Rideski]

yelled at the wife

People like that fucking shit up, I reckon.

lame mis-quote..."psuedo yelled" was the phrase used to ensure it wasn't misconstrued as red neck type spouse abuse.

did u see the pic of the up side down car above? yeah raise voice to make sure she stops taking that crap lightly...

lived in AZ for a long time and while the haboobs are way worse now, it was crazy to see the pile ups due to idiot drivers not slowing when viz got low. think there was a video posted here a few days ago of a pile up w cars and trucks plowing into each other for 5 or so minutes

we were on 70 heading back up the hill last year and witnessed a chain reaction pile up for est. 3 miles as folks heading east didnt slow and simply kept hitting the cars in front of them..almost backed up as fast as we were heading the bn other way. called CPS but they couldn't do anything in time unfortunately..real time

so yeah get off the road and way down into the shoulder or ditch if possible and let others be bumper cars. u seem smart, are u saying u dont look into the rear view when in highway traffic and things slow down quickly?

Adverse conditions on the drive East this evening, fortunately no incidents that I saw. Everyone seemed to be driving within their means, other than the guy in the Elantra buzzing by at 75. Maybe he had good snow tires.

One challenge was the windshield - the temp drop from 31 to 4 over the two and a half hours made things interesting.

With the new snow this morning, the hype, and the snow in Denver that gets everyone excited.... the Sunday drive back this afternoon is most certainly going to be Epikonic. Make sure you buy your pass early!

[MakersTeleMark]

Biggest I 70 powder day of the year on a Sunday after the Burton open. What could go wrong?

[summit]

Passenger vehicle traffic law. Snow tires required or you vill be druk owt uf your car und shot, ja?

He'd be renting a car and driving up by himself.
