Daytime temperatures will stay below freezing nearly everywhere. Snow continues tonight before clearing on Monday. Accumulations of about 2-4″ for the eastern plains. 2-5″, more in isolated areas, for locations like Colorado Springs and Pueblo. About 4-8″ for the southern I-25 corridor and the Palmer Divide. A foot or more will be possible for the peaks of the Wets and Sangres.
