WHITEOUT: 1-2 inches of snow per hour, quarter-mile visibility on Colorado mountain pass

In the case of Wolf Creek Pass, one to two inches of snow is falling per hour and visibility has been reduced to less than a quarter-mile thanks to winds in the range of 50-60 miles per hour.

Those traveling should proceed with caution, as heavy snow and extreme conditions are also expected along the I-70 corridor through early Saturday.
