The Colorado Springs area’s first measurable snowfall of the season was all over the map on Sunday, with some areas receiving as much as 2 inches and others getting just a fraction of an inch, according to the National Weather Service.

“Several bands of snow passed over the region,” said National Weather Service meteorologist Cameron Simcoe, based in Pueblo. “If you were directly beneath one of the bands, you might have gotten a couple of inches. If not, you might not have received a measurable amount.”

The National Weather Service defines “measurable snowfall” as an accumulation of 0.1 of an inch or greater, Simcoe said.

The hardest-hit area in the Pikes Peak region, according to reports, was Black Forest, which received more than 2 inches of snow in some locations. By contrast, the Colorado Springs Airport saw about 0.3 of an inch.

At about 6 p.m. Sunday, snowplow operators were called in to begin dealing with snowy roadways, according to snow manager Lance Holmes. What began as a partial callout, escalated into a full callout in some areas as roads became icy, Holmes said.

The exiting weather system did not yield heavy snow totals, but combined with below-freezing temperatures, it made for slick, icy streets on Sunday evening and Monday morning. All lanes of westbound Fillmore at Interstate 25 were closed for hours due to multiple crashes. On Monday morning, the Colorado Springs Police Department responded to more than 20 crashes across the city, though department spokeswoman Caitlin Ford said it was impossible to tell if all the crashes were due to icy roads.

The number of crashes also did not include any minor cold reporting collisions that did not elicit a CSPD response, Ford said.

The Colorado Springs and Fountain police departments went on accident alert status Sunday night because of the weather. When on accident alert, drivers involved in a minor crash that doesn’t involve injuries or impaired driving can exchange information and file an online report.

Sunny skies and a forecast high Monday of 35 degrees were expected to make the roads navigable throughout the day, but with an overnight low of 18 degrees, some roads are likely to be icy during the Tuesday morning commute, and residents should prepare for another snow event on Wednesday, the weather agency said.

“We’re looking at snow showers throughout Wednesday morning into early afternoon,” Simcoe said. “It’s a little too early for exact totals, but be prepared for more slow, slippery traffic later this week.”
