Denver snow: What are road conditions like before you head out the door?

DENVER (KDVR) — Welcome to spring in Colorado. Tuesday is a Pinpoint Weather Alert Day as temperatures plummeted from the 70s Monday to the 30s. Light snow will also fall throughout the morning.

According to the Pinpoint Weather team, light snow will linger over the metro area for the first half of the day. Along with the flakes, winds will be brisk which could possibly cause some visibility issues during the morning commute.
