>> i do, even though the storm system will move out rapidly, temperatures are finally starting to fall so the snow is sticking to the roadways and sidewalks and getting slippery. so far not overly impressive, the amounts coming in, not a huge storm for us so far but the storm slowed down as it digs into southeastern colorado, we expect to see the numbers increase, especially midnight to 6:00 a.m. in time for the morning drive. a lot of the snow was melting initially but that is about to change. winter weather and travel advisories are across 12 states. finally bringing heavier bands back towards the west into the city. we have been waiting all day for the easterly winds to develop. we are under a winter storm warning through noon tomorrow for additional accumulation in denver. probably in the 4-8 inch range on top of what you already received with heavy snow possible in the northern mountain and a winter weather advisory there. the heaviest snow will come in between midnight and probably

and then by the time the system winds down you could wake up to another 4, maybe 8 inches of snow on the ground in the morning. it will be icy and snow-packed. we are dealing with snow now, that snow and wind intensifying overnight and something we will detail in the main weather segment. we clear out tuesday but a lot are talking about the weekend and some football game so i guess i better talk about the california weather. >> i should read up on the football game. already the snow and cold is creating slick areas, c dot crews are on snow shifts, as kathy said more snow is expected overnight. 9 news reporter maya rodriguez and photoer journalist tom cole are on the roads to give us an update. >> reporter: right now we are on i-25 southbound, just south of colorado boulevard. the roads were pretty clear most of the day. the last hour the snowfall started to pick up and starting

it is very slushy but traffic appears to be moving pretty steadily. c dot crews are working 24 hours a day on the snow shifts and using chloride to provide ice building on the roads. the plows will come in and do their jobs, particularly in the mountains, southwest colorado, and potentially, they say, later on out on the eastern plains. >> they will be running until you see dry pavement. that means 12-hour shifts, there is a snow shift. you work for 12 hours, another crew comes in, they work 12 hours and they keep rotating through the storm for the next couple days, frankly. >> reporter: now for those of you who may be on the roads tonight or tomorrow, c dot has set up trackers in 800 of their plows around the state so you can see exactly where the plows are and where they are going, it is on their website and we put a link to that on 9news.com.

>> good to know, if you need to get somewhere tonight. thank you. a third of the flights at dia were canceled, 500. a lot of people forced to find a way to get here to there. security lines seemed to be moving well, 20 minutes from the start up to that machine that scans every square inch of our bodies. we in colorado know how to handle snow storms, that does not mean we are immune to the dangers, last months blizzard brought on dying from shoveling snow. >> reporter: you may not think it is extrenuous but it elevate your heart level to dangerous levels and that could create big problems for those shoveling snow, even a couple minutes, which is why doctors are urging people to be cautious as we expect more snow tonight into tomorrow. when you shovel snow you can

having a heart attack because theres say you are doing heavy upper body work in cold temperatures which can restrict blood levels and reduce blood supply. snow shoveling is the number one-snow related injury across the country. 200,000 are treated for snow shoveling injuries every year. most of the injuries are cardiac common. we had an orthopedic surgeon give us advice on what snow shovelers can do. >> people don't think it is a big deal. it is a little snow, i am going to move it, but it is a big deal. that is why we caution people that aren't in good physical shape not to do it and if you are going to do it, do it in limited amounts. >> reporter: dr. morgan also saying if you have heart or lung problems he really doesn't recommend you shovel at all. back out here live, significant change from what we saw an hour ago. there is snow beginning to stick

again, up until an hour ago we saw wet roads. it is an indication of what to expect tonight and into tomorrow. >> jessica oh reporting for us. >> if you get stuck, few fire departments were be prepared to help than elizabeth fire rescue. ryan haarer met the crew and they can't imagine taking on a storm without a special piece of equipment. >> honestly the best preparedness we can suggest is not to go out in it. >> while you are supposed to stay inside, these guys have to do the opposite. if you are stuck in a snow drift or have an emergency you will likely see lieutenant scott christian and the one vehicle, the elizabeth fire rescue knows can tackle the snowman. >> a little unusual, i mean it

ever driven before. this unit is a hoglands bb 206, it drives with rubber tracks. >> scott spent an entire summer giving this 25-year-old military vehicle a makeover. >> these things were used in desert storm and all over in different conflicts. god only knows where this thing has been. >> it has been modified for fire rescue use and given a more fitting color. >> it was camouflage on the outside when we got it. >> the all terrain carrier tops out at 40 miles an hour and, no, the nitrous booster from the fast and furious does not work. >> i didn't get objections from my chief so we put it up there for fun. >> this bad boy runs on diesel, gets 2 miles to the gallon. scott and the crew will be running on caffeine. >> we are been, we are known to. >> in what could be the busiest

>> in elizabeth, ryan haarer, 9 news. >> i don't know what we would do without it. >> elizabeth fire rescue got it through the 10-33 program in which the military hands over excess equipment. the team expects to be busy this evening and their calls will most likely come from drivers struck in snow. the iowa caucuses, hawk eye cockeye, between close between pirny sanders and baegs bernie sanders and hillary clinton. an upset with donald trump and whether rubio can put together a strong showing. brandon rittiman went to trump's final precaucus event in iowa where trump seemed uncharacteristically low energy. >> we saw a more subdued donald trump than we are used to seeing. half of the seats here were empty when he took the stage. none the less, he still told the crowd what they wanted to hear. >> i am not angry at the democrats, we understand where

i am angry with the republicans because the republicans roll over and allow all of the stuff to take place and then they talk about, we are going to try and balance our budget in 25 years. 25 years? why 25 years? >> that has been key to donald trump's success so far in this race and when we talk about antiestablishment candidates, that is a crucial example right there. he talked a little bit about missing the last debate put on by fox news. it remains to be seen whether that will help or hurt him in the long run but we will have a better picture tonight. donald trump said ted cruz is bad for iowa and talked about the ethanol industry saying cruz would basically destroy it within 6-12 months. cruz and trump have been tempering expectations in the final hours in iowa. trump started his speech saying win, lose, or draw, i love you to his supporters. people in the crowd feel like donald trump is genuine and that he will push back on the status

>> i like him because he is not part of the establishment. i think he will do a great job for us. >> even if donald trump wasn't firing on this stage, he has to hope he has enough supporters fired up to win the caucuses, starting as we speak. in iowa, brandon rittiman, 9 news. >> big night for us in politics. >> yes, it is. >> exciting. finally somebody is out there voting or caucusing. >> are we not been talking about it? we were down to 148 days, 10 days, here we go. a more detailed number at the storm, we have numbers there. >> yes. >> snow bands tonight and most likely tomorrow. we have proof broncos country extends into the pacific. a college student from lakerood signed up to work at

on the hawaiian island of malachi, there is a fanatic bronco fan, and his family, their bronco blue house makes their passion pretty clear and it will be packed super bowl sunday. michael-- sorry, kahinu said his mom is from colorado and he was born bleeding blue and orange, what he calls island broncos headquarters for the game . >> this season we got on the field and we watched the bronco/vikings game and my first game i ever went to, blast. my son who was 10 years old is a fanatic now.

fanatical than i am. >> and, former 9 news reporter roger wolf who sent so much time in northern colorado was vacationing there and met michael and sent the interview. >> still working. >> always a reporter. >> michael is confident the broncos will win and expects it to be quite a day. another fan signed up to not watch the super bowl. shaun backsis a santa clara university student from lakewood. when he found out the super bowl was coming to college town he signed up to help direct people questions outside. when his blufbed broncos made it-- beloved broncos made it he realized he would not see the game but might hear the cheering inside. >> i found out my favorite team would be playing is a double edged sword. one side, i get to be a part of the broncos in the super bowl. the other half, i don't get to watch the broncos play in the super bowl. i figure i will have plenty of

>> that is the way to be optimistic. >> many more super bowls. >> absolutely. he will get access to cool tonight. his very proud mother told us what her son was doing, we want super bowl or broncos. twitter. all this comes out of the wood work at the end. obligation, he said i volunteered to do it, i will be doing it. they do pay for his time. >> he can probably tell from the sound of the crowd. >> learn the sound of a panthers fan verses a broncos fan. there is a joke here but i won't say it. expect several more hours of snowfall tonight and more early tomorrow. >> kathy is along next and will

welcome back, meteorologist kathy sabine outside in the 9 backyard. we may only have 2-3 inches of snow on the ground from the less an impressive storm but it is picking up, the trend overnight, a fract frr the drive tomorrow. tomorrow. roads are wet and slushy but sticking snow with temperatures falling. we look at 4 models and they are trending between 4 and 8 inches

closer to 8 judging by the size of the snowflakes starting to pile up. not a huge storm for us, it is on the move. it is tracking to the east for the heavy snow and wind will become quite an ice storm east of north plat and omaha, the bulk may say east keeping us on the western fringe of the 4-8 inch additional total but it will impact the drive tomorrow. temperatures starting to fall tomorrow. icy and snow-packed roadways tonight and much of the day tomorrow. wind chill, 14. moderate snow falling and 27 outside the studios. snow bands starting to wrap around the area of low pressure pushing westward into the city. we have been waiting all day for the easterly winds to kick in. the storm slowed a bit. the areas in purple are where heavier snow bands are moving from the southeast toward the northwest. the whole area of low pressure will move quickly out but we remain under a winter storm warning through noon tomorrow for an additional 4-8 in denver,

feet of snow in the central and southern mountain with winter weather advisorys for the western plateau. the snow ends, avalanche danger will increase with heavy snow and wind anticipated. it will create severe weather across 7 sfats and the north-- states, and the northwest flow keeping a few flurries wednesday as well. moisture bands coming in, we have some of the heaviest snow falling midnight to 6 clk a.m. and then we have midmorning clearing and mid afternoon clearing but certainly a slower drive tomorrow morning than you endured today. system is out of here by lunchtime tomorrow. it won't be all that warm. forecast for you tonight, we remain under a winter storm warning for 4-8 inches of snow. tomorrow, we do have temperatures starting off in the mid teens, jump to lower 20s by the afternoon and don't warm a whole lot, even with that mid

a few flurries mid week, unsettled and chilly. low 50s saturday and heading into the early part of next week, temperatures will start to trend upward again. taking a look at the forecast around the area for the super bowl, still looking like sunshine and upper 60s for super bowl sunday. hi, everybody, the broncos team bus was involved in a minor fender bender this morning but hopefully none of the players mouths are involved in any accidents tonight. it is the first ever opening night event in super bowl history. formerly known as media day but they made it way cooler now. moments ago, introductions, that is new on the golden gate bridge. every player will be available for a full hour, which can be dangerous if you are trying not to say anything stupid or controversial. broncos go first followed by the panthers and we are live. 9 news sports report ror rod mackey is in san jose tonight. hi, rod.

forward to see if we get "i am just here so i don't get fined" quotes. they moved this to a night event and it is an event, not about interviewed but a circus, if you will going onfelt the biggest crowd-- on. the biggest crowd will be around manning, everybody asking about the last rodeo. when we left there were hundreds of cameras but because we have broncos insider, mike klis we didn't have to deal with the hundreds of cameras, one camera talking to peyton, one on one with him. what stood out to you about what he discussed? >> he opened about a variety of topics, the biggest was that he did talk about the fuss going on with what he will do, when or not he will retire. he talked about why, he talked to bill belichick the way he did at mid-field, he delivered the same message to tom brady, he

wanted to tell him in that moment rather than write a text or letter. >> lets take a listen. >> i am not naive. i understand there are people around. i wanted at that particular time to tell a coach that i have had 23 games against and have had disappointing losses and great wins, i told the quarterback, tom brady the same thing, there is something about tom in person at that particular time, as opposed to a text or hand-written letter, something about tom, man to han man, you are a heck of a player, i am joyed these battles. -- enjoyed these battles. brady will play until he is 70. belichick will coach until 90. maybe i hit the fountain of youth and play another 10 years but in case it was the last time i played against them in a championship, what i said was true. this could be. no definite, and, you know,

man, it wasn't planned, it was reactionary, you media folks are all over the field and you barely have time to move or talk to anybody. i took the time to tell those guys and it was what i felt at that particular time. >> reporter: we will have much more from mike's interview tonight at 10:00, plus we have a broncos tonight special tomorrow from 7:00 until 8:00. drew, back to you. >> see you then, thanks. this is the 18th anniversary of the most famous 4 word over spoken in sports history, broncos owner, pat, "this one's for john." sketching the broncos to super bowl 50 with "this one's for pat" flag. if the broncos win, do you think elway would say that?
