I’ve known about the traffic cams in Colorado Springs for years, but only recently learned about the mashup which shows where the traffic cams are on a map: SpringsCam. Today, when I check the traffic cams at 3 pm the roads home were all drive, but they were snow covered and slick by the time I got on the road at 4 pm.  Fortunately, everyone was inclined to drive sedately, and I got in double the time it usually takes.

That could be handy, but, as you discovered, conditions can change quickly. Around here it's usually trying to find out which bridges or tunnels aren't jammed up, and the traffic "updates" on the radio are usually behind the reality.
