Snow and ice-packed roads have caused several southern Colorado school districts to close for the day on Thursday.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Several schools, businesses and offices across southern Colorado are on delayed start, remote start or closed on Thursday due to snow and windy conditions.
Colorado Springs District 11, District 49, Manitou Springs School District, Peyton 23JT, Academy District 20, Cheyenne Mountain District 12, Elbert School District 200, Ellicott 22, Fowler School District R4J, Hanover 28, Harrison District 2, Miami-Yoder School District JT-60, Pueblo District 60, Pueblo District 70, Trinidad School District, and Widefield 3 are among those closed Thursday.
Several districts are on delayed start Thursday including Big Sandy School District, Cañon City Schools, Cripple Creek-Victor, Fremont-Florence RE-2, and Lewis-Palmer District 38.
Southern Colorado has received several inches of snow Wednesday and Thursday. The 9NEWS Weather team said the snow will gradually taper off in southern and eastern Colorado Thursday morning, but dense freezing fog, a wintry mix, and snow should be expected.
A dense fog advisory is in effect for the Interstate 25 corridor from Fort Collins south to Castle Rock until 10 a.m. Thursday. With temperatures below freezing, expect that moisture in the air to freeze on surfaces which could make for some slick road conditions.
Highs rebound back into the low-40s in Denver on Thursday despite afternoon clouds.
Starting Friday, temperatures bounce back into the 50s in Denver, and highs could flirt with 60 degrees by Sunday. It’ll stay dry well into next week, with above-average temperatures expected into at least the middle of the week.
