🚛 Cleanup Continues Amid Lingering Snowfall

Following yesterday's heavy snowfall, cleanup efforts are in full swing. Plow crews are now concentrating on clearing secondary and residential roads, with main roads already addressed.

The National Weather Service forecasts snow to continue until noon today, with additional accumulations of 3 to 6 inches expected, particularly in western and northern parts of Colorado Springs. Travel could be challenging, and drivers are advised to exercise caution and keep emergency supplies in their vehicles. Public works officials emphasize ongoing efforts to ensure safe road conditions and request patience from the community as cleanup operations progress.
