Total by morning 11 inches, I-80 and I-25 are closed. Finally found a room around 2am. We only moved at abou 25-30 mph on the interstate before we got off the road.

We decided then and there that we would rather drive an extra 40 miles to stay somewhere that didn't smell like Horse/cow manure ...

... were on the interstate for goodness sake, not a small back road. But it is so open, so vulnerable to drifts, soo...let's get out of here!
