Monday, May 2nd, 2005 — The brunt of another spring snowstorm hit northwestern Colorado Saturday, dumping six inches of snow on Rabbit Ears Pass and causing several highway accidents, some of which led to a 3-mile traffic jam on Vail Pass. The region got five to eight inches of snow, although not all of it was sticking. There were also several jackknifed semitrailers on Vail Pass and U.S. 40, said Ruth Wade, communications supervisor with the Colorado State Patrol.
