COLBY, Kan. (AP) — Some hotels are already seeing some wary travelers a day before a forecast for heavy snows and winds that could create blizzard conditions in northwest Kansas.

A few people have extended their stay Tuesday at the Hampton Inn in Colby in anticipation of the coming storm.

Hampton Inn front desk agent Debbie Martin says hotel employees are working hard to make sure all the rooms are ready in case they close Interstate 70.

At the Holiday Inn Express and Suites in Colby, front desk agent Shelby Klippert said they got 10 cancellations of room reservations on Tuesday.

It was mostly slow Tuesday with the chilly weather, but no snow. But she expects the hotel will get super busy once the storm hits, especially if the interstate is closed down.
