DEN icing
I had flown into BJC several hours earlier that morning. Icing was present and I would have called it moderate rime - typical DEN freezing upslope condx. WX and icing was worse south of BJC. Bad enough that many, if not all, of the BJC based, DEN TV stations news helicopters were not taking the chance on flying down to PUB to get an eye view of the crash scene.
If I remember correctly, the PUB METAR observation at about 1700UTC was OVC006-008, temp -2/-3, and VIS approximately 8 mi.
