Less than two weeks from June, the Front Range received another dusting of snow Monday night.
From the mountains out to the plains, flurries made yet another appearance less than a week after 80-degree temperatures graced the Denver metro.
The winter weather led to a brief closure of I-70 in the mountains and prompted Colorado Spring police to enact accident alert status within the city.
At 8:43 p.m., the Colorado Department of Transportation reported multiple crashes on I-70 near Copper Mountain shut down the eastbound lanes. There were no immediate reports of injuries. At 9:35 p.m., CDOT reported that the eastbound lanes reopened.
Here’s a few of the scenes from around Colorado:
Frankly that stretch of 80-degree days last week was getting old

And here’s a look at the side roads in Castle Rock. Itap a white-knuckle type of drive.

DENVER — Unpopular opinion: I like the mid-May snow and think last week’s 80-degree heat was awful.

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of freshly planted garden seedlings suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened…like a legitimate snow shower on May 20, 2019.
