Sorry that my trailer is here in Saint Paul and out of your way to get the car 
home.

I assume you mean Limon CO, on I-70 east out of Denver.  

Lucky for us we were ahead of you.  We went the other way, NE out of Lafayette 
on I-76, up to I-80 and across Nebraska. It was raining and near-freezing when 
we left Layfayette and the Denver area Thursday morning.  Cold and wet that 
night and the next morning at the Gothenberg Nebraska campground.

On Saturday morning we woke up to snow at the Des Moines West KOA campground in 
Adel Iowa. Roads thankfully not icy.  The band of snow ran right along I80 from 
Grand Island Nebraska nearly to Illinois.  By the time we got to Ames Iowa we 
were north of it and the roads were dry.  We made it home to Saint Paul before 
dark.
