State troopers dealt with multiple crashes along I-70, well into last night, with snow and rainshowers disrupting a lot of drivers\u2019 plans, as they got into accidents. It was a fairly mild storm, according to forecasters, yet there were storm warnings and travel advisories up until midnight. With the storminess having moved out in the wee hours of this morning, your Thursday is probably sunny and nice in many areas, yet chilly, some with a new white blanket on the ground. Many roads and side streets statewide are still icy across wide areas, so be sure to be cautious– foothills and mountain communities are most likely facing winter driving conditions for at least a few hours today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
