(SOUTHERN COLORADO) — The Colorado State Patrol (CSP) for La Junta and Lamar sent a warning out on social media Monday, Jan. 8 that “Southeast Colorado is closed,” and for those who haven’t secured lodging, to do so immediately.

CSP also posted a map of several roads that were closed on Monday and also said Highway 50 was closed from La Junta to Kansas.

CSP also shared a photo from Highway 50 just after 9:30 a.m. Monday near Hasty, and wrote, “H50 is open but that doesn’t mean you should be out on it.”
