Video from the Loveland, Johnstown, and Windsor Colorado area of the heavy snow, near whiteout and blizzard conditions at times. NWS only predicted 4 inches of snow, and as of this filming nearly 10 inches of snow had fallen and was still coming down. Winds out of the North-North West were making it very difficult for plows to keep up with road conditions.
Video includes driving in very heavy snow with near whiteout conditions, plows hard at work, general traffic shots navigating the snow, and a skid test coming to a complete stop from 35 miles per hour on one inch of ice.

Valentine’s Day didn’t offer much warmth across the Front Range as the day started with a frigid wind and gave way to snow which came down extremely heavy at times accumulating several inches in places. Several accidents were caused due to slippery conditions and limited visibility due to the heavy snow out-pacing the melting on the roads.
