streets beyond me, there's some slush forming at this point. there was some snow that got onto the roads and the side streets, but on the bigger streets, you're going to run into some snow definitely here in lakewood. that's going to make for a challenge as you go forward with your commute. let's see you what we saw earlier in lakewood and denver and the tech center. descent snow falling overnight. not sticking in a lot of different places. at least not on the street. the trees and plants pecking that up. we have seen plows working their way across town. they're trying to make the roads better for you as you get ready to go this morning. not too much snow on the ground, but prepare for it to be on your car, so you'll probably need more time to get ready and then of course, take it slower and be more careful on the roads because we're dealing with snow after a while here. live in lakewood, shawn chitnis, cbs 4

>> thank you, shawn. you have to account for the scraping thing. it takes time. >> you have to find the snow brush in you're in the foothills. it has been a while since we've had to use it. lauren, you said it would be worse. >> this is i-70 and the genesee area. this is coming from photographer eddie castro. him and jaime leary live for us. you can see the big fat flakes are continuing to fall. we have dryer air moving in. 1 to 4 inches for the foothills and sometime front range mountains, let's in. pine close with a foot of snow. ward around 8.1 inches. and golden 7.5 inches. ohio springs report ing 5. we haven't had too many snow fall totals,

you have the plow working. i-70 facing that eastbound direction at lacal mountain. as folks come around the corner, we've had reports of numerous accidents along 285. look into the high country, and you have chain and passenger restrictions in place as you make your way out to the johnson eisenhower tunnel. across the denver metro area, a different story. mostly clear and we're running at post the speed limits. traveling from alameda parkway down passed morrison, 285, bowls, king carol before it gets better as you make that turn. you can turn on koa for the latest weather and traffic together. >> thanks, joel. the foothills and mountains getting heavy snow.

if you run into travel this morning, that's likely because all of cdot's plows are out and holding up cars along i-70. morrison is where the snow really came down for us this morning. the biggest problems were exiting where the plows haven't touched yet. getting on and off the highway is a challenge and just obviously take it slow. use common sense because if you're a good driver, that doesn't mean everybody else is driving well as. >> it's a -- this morning, a denver police officer is dealing with a lower leg wound. here's
