A winter storm also swept over Colorado's Front Range communities over the past few days.

Authorities in Colorado reported eight people were killed in fatal vehicle crashes since Valentine's Day and warned drivers to be cautious as the weather made driving more difficult.

The causes of the fatal crashes weren't immediately known.

Also in Colorado, three state patrol cruisers that had pulled over along roadsides were struck by other vehicles, including one on Sunday where a trooper had stopped as officials prepared to close a road because of ice.

In each case the troopers were out of their cruisers at the time and were uninjured.
