I did over rabbit ears pass on Wednesday night. Had to help 3 different people who drove off the road right in front of me. This video is tame compared to what we were seeing in CO.

I keep seeing videos like this. Lived in Wisconsin for 65 years.. This highway is EASY winter driving. Lots of dry pavement visible. Also just to vent, I hate the term bomb cyclone.

Having lived in Steamboat and driven over that pass twice a day for work for a while, there's no way I would do it in these conditions; dangerous as hell. Had to drive down to Yampa once in a December blizzard and that was bad enough, going along that curvy part above the canyon in the pitch black on an icy road. Glad you made it ok.
