but we also have roads like kipling, they are secondary roads, we will have plows, but not like the major roads like the freeways. >> reporter: the goal is to have the roads as best they can be for morning rush hour. take extra time and don't pass the plows. there is a tracker site on c- d.o.t.'s website. you see the plows where they are and headed. that is a good tip for drivers to check on-line to see if the roads to your morning commute are clear. out of the 970 snowplows in colorado, mark, 840 have the new trackers. >> thanks, victoria, reporting live. thank you. the department of corrections is say elizabeth one of the employees was involved in a shooting between two motorcycle clubs on saturday at the national western complex. one man was killed several others were hospitalized. the agency will not see how the

here in the hawk -- hawk eye state. we're going to focus on the democratic, because colorado has carcass on march 1st. republicans will not be picking a winner, democrats will, that result could be extra important, if hillary clinton is unable to fend up the bernie sanders insurgency underway in iowa right now. both of the candidates made the closing pitches here in des moines tonight. [ applause ] center bernie sanders drew more people that grand view university's auditorium could hold. he is talking about a higher wall street. he argued that makes him better than hillary clinton. >> my opponent yesterday announced he had received $45 million for her super pac. we announce that we received zero dollars for our super pac. it. hillary clinton supporters argue bernie would struggle to

november because the republican nominee would hammer on the fact bernie calls himself a socialist. >> times have changed. people are not afraid of that word like they used to be. and you know, hillary clinton. >> reporter: ed fallen recently endorsed sanders and says sanders voters have one thing in common with those who backed donald trump, they want an outsider. and turning those people out will be key. >> and enough people who may not be traditional caucus goers turn out tomorrow, we would see a sanders victory here in iowa. >> reporter: but hillary clinton can claim a narrow lead in the final polls here. >> when you consider where she was a few months ago, where she was way ahead, the momentum is clearly with bernie in iowa. [ applause ] >> reporter: whether that is

hillary clinton held a rally on the other side of town tonight joined by her husband, president bill clinton. now, bernie sanders well ahead of hillary clinton in new hampshire. if hillary clinton is pull-off a win in iowa, she would fend off questions about whether she might be in for a long protracked race against bernie sanders in the next states to come, including our caucuses in colorado. reporting live, 9 news. >> i think it will be a fascinating night. brandon in iowa, thank you. thousands of broncos' fans cheered on the team today at a rally at civic center park. some broncos alumni were there to get the crowd pumped up with the mascot and cheerleaders. the team arrived on santa clara today and then headed to their hotel just a few miles from where the super bowl will be >> all right.

san francisco, 50 miles north of santa clara. many of the events during super bowl will be where you are standing. >> reporter: you bet. the fan experience up here, super bowl city is up here and a lot of team rallies in san francisco. south of here a lot of the heavy hitting football action will be taking place. you guys just mentioned, obviously where the super bowl will be played in santa clara and the broncos are staying. this afternoon fans lined up for hours to see the team as they arrived. many of the fans from california in the heart of raiders and minor country, but when it comes to nba teams, their passion for the broncos >> it is perfect. it is great, driving down the street and seeing the broncos. just super bowl l. we're in it, more. >> reporter: one of the many week. a lot of fun, 9 news has 15

out of the equation the best journalists in the country. we setup a studio at the team hotel for live broadcasts then morning, afternoon, and night. so santa clara -- up north in san francisco we will be, we have a lot planned for this week and a lot of fun. there's a whole lot of activities. we're looking forward to it. >> thank goodness, share some there to prom -- sheryl is there to prop him up, matt is a slacker. thank you, matt. francisco. a major winter storm is

beautiful and wintery start to the day out there in

i love this shot out there. and shannon capturing this one, a couple of eagles perched above the river out there. this evening a different story. the storm system is beginning to barrel into colorado. up to the high country the worst conditions of snowfall is coming down at the tunnels and slow traveling as well. this weekend we have been talking about this two-part system. the first one moved through last night and early this morning now all eyes on the second one which is still positioned to the west in california and nevada, and slinging up rain for southern california, and los angeles, and san diego, and snowfall areas to the north in the great basin. this system will be sitting over the four corners by tomorrow morning. so slowly inching its way to colorado and closer to the sweet spot, southeastern colorado, that's where we need the storm to be, and the northwesterly winds move into the eastern plains and smack into parts of the front rage, that potential could bring us

tomorrow evening the worst as far as the snow and winds. the storm finally lifts to the north and east by tuesday morning. still a couple of bands of snowfall on the back side of this storm, but everything starts to move out by tuesday afternoon and tuesday evening. again, right now on h.d. doppler 9 this is just a taste of what is to come. a half-inch in the back yard, a little bit more piling up to the western slope on i-70, grand junction is seeing snow. and down across the san juans, too. and the i-25 corridor the snowfall just continuing to intensify to the north of castle rock. this slight band will be inning closer to the denver metro area. again just a taste of what's to which later on tomorrow afternoon. that's when it really is going to start to ratch up. acouple of light showers to the west of town, west of boulder, looking at steady snowfall. it will be on and off as we go

so tomorrow morning you wake up, not huge snowfall amounts yet. give it some time, until the afternoon, and that's when it is really will be messy around here. again the timing of it all, it is coming and starting now, the heaviest snowfall on monday and total done by tuesday afternoon into the evening. mountains two feet on top of what they saw the past couple of days. it is wild up there, around the plains 16 to 18 inches. the higher amounts in the foothills. and travel is tough, doing a road trip tomorrow or trying to catch a flight out of dia it will be a mess. check with your airline and also blowing snow. so be aware for the next 24 to 36 hours. overnight, a few lulls in the action. 2:00 to 3:00, a little bit of a break. the drive in, 7:00 to 8:00, snow, but it ramps up in

in the morning. 3:00p.m. when maybe the kids are coming home from school, maybe they had a snow day the winds will start whipping around the eastern plains and the center of circulation is in southeastern colorado, the northeasterly winds in the front range that will help to create the upslope event. by 10:00 to 11:00 this system is not going anywhere. it will take until tuesday morning the damage is done. the drive into work or school on tuesday will be messily out there. and around lunchtime to storm system begins to break a part. winter storm warnings for nearly the entire stayed, can broad estimate. the eastern plains you guys will have a good dose, the in. 8 to 24 inches in the high

and 18 to 36 for the san jauns. abreakdown of the foothills, 10 to 12. northern colorado 7 to 14. and the southern suburbs a little bit more for you folks, too. tonight 18 degrees, the snowfall is increasing. 2 to 4 inches by tomorrow morning's drive. and for most of tomorrow it will be a wintery, raw, snowy, cold and blustery day with potentially four to eight inches accumulating. temperatures tomorrow they will be tough. low 20s at best around here. maybe a couple of spots trying to 30 with 30 degrees, but a cool one out here. don't worry, hunker down, tuesday. this storm system moves out and

hi, everybody. it is a arrival time, look on the scoreboard. the broncos would have an early lead in the super bowl. denver beat california to northern california by 78 minutes this afternoon. sure, the flight from colorado is three hours shorter from the east coast. but so what, football is a game adjustments. panning-- manning was seventh. and davis was at the bottom of the steps to greet the players. we are live at the team hotel in santa clara. hi, guys. >> reporter: denver is happy, happy to be here. >> yeah, they are. the weather is a little bit chilly here, but they got here in good shape. they had a couple hundred people, fans from, from the bay

greeted them, i thought it was real interesting that as they got off the bus the crowd here chanted defense, defense, defense -- a very intelgen crowd. >> smart crowd with this team. >> they know how the broncos will win the super bowl. >> so a small contingent of fans here and they sent them off in denver, it was interesting has the broncos got on the bus and before actually getting off to get on the team plane, there were signs saying go broncos afc champs. so the street signs had it, excited. this two weeks is about peyton. you can see the players taking pictures amongst themselves. but number 18 was in the middle of the picture. >> yes, manning is not saying he is retiring, but his he is. they are taking turns. acouple doesn't players took

peyton outside of the plane. they all sense that this is it. the last rodeo, i guess, kind of the mantra for manning here. >> we are in front of the team hotel. afew playerserize in the team hotel. but one might you will not see too many of them. >> no curfew, there will be a practice midmorning tomorrow. keeping to the routine, gary kubiak wants to do it. hopefully, the fellows know how to behave themselves, stay off social media after midnight, that never looks good. it is interesting because before it has been a 24-hour trip. 10, 12-hour trips. this is a week long. tonight. one-on-one with john, he has been to plenty of these. right now, drew, back to you. >> no curfew, rod, what time are you going in and out.

headed there first. >> all right. >> we're see you 30 pounds heavier in a week. the avalanche had one player invaded to the all-star game, but that's all that needed. >> number nine! >> second career all-star game. five years apart and that played wonderfully. and earning a couple of assists with a couple of nice passes to the predators. their team lost, 9-6. college basketball in boulder today. cu missed 18 of the first 19 shots and still be the cal bears. three in a row, final score, 70-62. strange but true. north carolina panthers cam newton looks fabulous in everything, except for the

skin type yellow jeans to spite the -- despite the fact they are the ugliest clothing in super bowl history. now, they sold out of the pants. strange. i have a fabulous idea. if the broncos in with the super bowl, manning gets to fly back wearing the same pants. >> oh, man. >> that would be great. >> my whole career. no, that's not now i'm going to
