CO 7 (South Saint Vrain Canyon) is clear of most all debris (read sand). CDOT has dumped so much mag-chloride on the road that the surface is white (precipitate residue). I wouldn't be surprised if all the roadside vegetation will be killed off come spring due to this obvious overt crime against nature.
The wind didn't become a factor until after (west bound) the intersection of CO 7 and CO 72. The only issue was two 30 yard sections of drifted snow over the road surface immediately past the old Longs Peak Inn at Goblins Castle Road and the entrance to Lily Lake trail-head across from The Baldpate Inn prior to the decent into Estes Park.
US 34, The Big Thompson was clean with again the exception of excessive amounts of the white mag-chloride residue coating the road surface. I have a feeling that when the crap is washed into the river it will kill the fish. What a mess.
