Largest November snowstorm in decades hits Colorado

[@sofakingrad3530]

I have spent many nights on 80 in a snowstorm where the only thing you can see is the next reflector on the mileage marker posts. You listen for the noise of the rumble strip marking the side of the road to keep on the road. You cant stop because you will get rear ended. You dont see an exit until you pass it. You cant pull over because you will roll over in the ditch and it could be a day before they find you if they find you. You do your best, enjoy the adventure, and hope some idiot dosent stop on the road in front of you.

Chain laws usually start in September or October - several states out west require you to carry chains "or other acceptable traction devices", regardless of weather. I don't get out in this kind of nastiness, because I learned how to drive in it back during the global cooling scare of the 70s - and most of the idiots think they can do 70 bumper to bumper in this mess, and the 100+ vehicle pileups are the result, and I don't want to be part of it.

And most drivers with Felony Express are new ... As a forward, I retired last week after 40 years trucking, 35 of it as a flatbedder. 13 years ago, I was loading at a John Deere facility in North Dakota. I was helping a WE driver figure out his tie-down diagram on a wide piece of equipment - over 11 feet. I asked if he had his permits yet. He told me he didn't need permits because the load was within 4 feet of the rub rail ...... I helped another driver retarp his load of tubing at Valmont in Omaha (well, Calley, NE) because he had them on backwards and couldn't figure out his problem - he had the front and rear flaps in the middle ....

[@beverleytinker2318]

No..the snow is needed and so ❤️ beautiful

Maybe since you asked, THEY will do that for you.

It was way too hot this year, time for a change in temperature.

This is normal. We get storms like this every couple of years..There is a very small area in Colorado that is in a drought which is maybe 30 miles square. You may want to do some research but then again this is the old school 1960's style overhyped media..

[@TexJester-no8th]

I get a kick out of the "drought maps" showing much of the Desert Southwest being in a drought ..... it's a DESERT for f***'s sake!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Reporter: You know there's a chain law right? Driver: I do now. Reporter: And you didn't have chains. Driver: I do now.

I promise this is totally normal.

Colorado always have snow storms like Gunnison Colorado used to be the coldest place in America like international falls Minnesota I kind of wish that weather was here again

[@ddc163264]

This is the ONLY time national news does such stories on Colorado. They won't be anywhere near when all the snow is gone in a week to 10 days and it's in the 60's again. Especially around the Denver metro area. Then it makes people feel like its the same as it is in the east, that when the first heavy snow comes it stays and becomes that hard, ugly, block of snow ice that just keeps growing until spring.

[@jwsanders1214]

its already gone

[@mchrysogelos7623]

well I wont give it that long, 50 today (the day after), and supposedly will continue; will be soon gone.

You should try an education. I know that sounds intimidating but it's actually a pretty cool thing to have.

I'll take some of that. 50's all week here.

[@CiscoKid76]

Fog and black ice caused the accidents or careless drivers not knowing how to drive in these conditions caused the accidents? Then to top it off, driver admits he didnt have chains. Sure. Blame it on the weather.

[@nicolewilliamson5484]

Wet snow frozen underneath turns to black ice & speeding was the culprit. This is normal for Colorado.

[@TexJester-no8th]

Idiots not understanding that you can't do 70 nose to tail in these conditions. I see it every winter .... and it's getting worse. I'm glad I retired after 40 years of this idiocy.

[@CiscoKid76]

I'm a truck driver. Been trucking for 28 years. If weather was the cause, then everybody would be crashing. Every trip I go out, I see ticking time bombs on the interstate all the time and everywhere in the states. What I mean, no matter the weather conditions, you se a group of 5 even 20 or more tailgating each other on the interstate at full speed or faster. One has a heart attack or seizure or whatever and that starts a chain reaction of accidents. And most of all, almost everyone is on their phone while driving. City driving you have no choice to drive in crowded conditions but on the interstate? C'mon people! Give yourself some space and time. I drive 65 or less and still make it on time for my appointments.

[@paulbigsby2387]

I drove through that section on I-80 years ago after an ice storm. Lines of trucks laid out on their sides on the sides of the highway. And it’s from being pushed to try making deliveries during dangerous weather. I’m so glad I don’t drive truck anymore.

[@rickc4317]

Actually, not "Colorado", only part of Colorado. I know, I live in Colorado.

[@sandrablake2362]

I was in a huge unexpected blizzard storm in Cheyene , WYOMING 63 years ago 😮😱. It was 40 ft deep snow and 40 degrees below zero😢😱😩😮. My y parents were trapped on the highway overnight. They ran out of fuel trying to stay warm. A Simi Truck Driver took them and 4 other people into his cab so they wouldn’t freeze to death. My Sister and I were trapped at home with the entire tiny home buried to almost the roof. We were so afraid through the night hearing the strong winds and blowing and the scary sound of that is still etched in my mind🥴.
