Any comments from those of you currently on the road (eclipse fan or not) regarding volume of traffic you've encountered? Any signs the predictions of traffic nightmares are true?

Not on the road per se, but I was out and about yesterday and had to go over I-25 in Loveland several times. Each time, the traffic northbound was nearly at a standstill, looking both south and north from the overpass. As far north as I could see, it was traffic at a virtual crawl. And news reports confirmed that traffic during the afternoon was as heavy as what I'd seen. And this was on Saturday, August 19th in mid-afternoon.
