At around 9:30 p.m., the Colorado Department of Transportation says westbound lanes are closed at Morrison while eastbound lanes are closed at Silverthorne.

It's not clear when the closures will lift.

The National Weather Service office in Boulder reports at least 10 inches of snow near Jamestown, west of Boulder. They say some of the reports were a couple of hours old, so totals will surely increase.
