Colorado Springs drivers asked to stay off the roads amid the city’s plowing operations

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – City of Colorado Springs officials say this is the worst start to the snow season they’ve seen in years, and they’re urging people to stay off the roads so plows can do their job.

That’s because heavier snow is expected across the city over the next few days, bringing slicker conditions. You will find examples of three to four plows running in tandem down major roads like Academy, Powers, Woodman and Platte.

City officials are asking people to work from home if they can. They specifically ask people to try to stay off the roads during the morning and evening rush hours so plows don’t get stuck in traffic.

City plowing operations are set to end sometime Saturday after the snow stops falling.
