I'm not saying I'm not happy to be back in #Boulder. I'm just saying the last 24 hours have been a bit of an adjustment #CrappySnowPhotoOfTheDay

Somehow this Colorado weather has taken all the joy I was going to get out of saying I'm going to Miami for work this week.

Heads up, #Boulder Fire reporting a structure fire on Thunderbird Drive in south Boulder. Avoid area

A programming note: No #Boulder newsletters until Jan. 5, though we will be keeping an eye out for breaking news. Be safe and enjoy the holidays!

A #Boulder artist has designed nature stickers that are designed to cover up Trump's portrait on the new 2026 National Parks passes www.axios.com/local/boulde...

UPDATE: Per #Boulder County, Wild Turkey Fire at 3 acres, but forward spread has been stopped and crews are in mop up. There is still concern due to high winds, evacuation orders remain in place for now

ALERT: #Boulder County crews responding to a fire up Four Mile Canyon. Evacuation notices have been issued member.everbridge.net/453003085612...

Final update for the day from me: Xcel showing about 87,000 in Colorado without power, at least 21,000 in #Boulder County

Colorado's governor and attorney general have both criticized Xcel's handling of the preemptive outages this week: www.axios.com/local/boulde...

Crews working to put out fire along a fence near 30th and Madison in Boulder

About 84,000 without power in the state amid high winds and extreme fire danger: www.axios.com/local/boulde...

Xcel outage site showing 83,646 customers without power in Colorado, about 6,700 in #Boulder County #cowx

Well that escalated quickly: NCAR's Mesa lab in the #Boulder foothills has already recorded gusts over 100 mph today #cowx

A glaciologist at @cires.colorado.edu, @alibanwell.bsky.social, is featured in a coloring book featuring women in STEM fields www.axios.com/local/boulde...

ALERT: Both #Boulder Valley and #CUBoulder have canceled Friday classes due to impending wind and outages #cowx

This year, @axios is hosting a "best animal" poll. #Boulder's nominee: Ralphie, who this year was actually two bison with very different views on running. Vote now. Don't let the drunk raccoon win www.axios.com/local/philad...

The latest numbers: We are at about 60,000 without power statewide, 19,000 in #Boulder County. Another shutdown on Friday is still possible: www.axios.com/local/boulde...

Dearest mother, We still have no power. We have not showered in what feels like a fortnight. But as remote workers, we must go out now in search of food and internet, fighting off rivals for open outlets. I shall endeavor to write you, unless my device perishes.

This is why you should always check on your neighbors

Still about 89,000 customers without power in Colorado, 32,000 in #Boulder County as of 9am

ALERT: BVSD has made the decision to cancel all classes tomorrow due to wind damage and outages #Boulder #cowx

Kind of creepy, downtown #Boulder lit up but the rest of #Boulder is dark

I'm starting to realize there is a very big flaw in the strategy of having local reporters covering large power outages...

And now we've cruised right on past the 100 mph mark, per NCAR Mesa station #Boulder #cowx

I'm on my third coffee shop, I just keep moving east as they lose power like some sort of Wi-Fi nomad. On the bright side, I have sampled a very wonderful collection of caffeinated holiday beverages so it won't matter that the wind would have kept me up all night anyway.

Gusts are approaching 100 mph at the #Boulder NCAR Mesa station #cowx

Per Xcel, state is at about 79,000 without power, down from almost 100K earlier today. But #Boulder County has actually climbed from 16,000 to 23,000 due to more unplanned outages

Annnnnnd there went my power. I'll be offline for a bit while I try to relocate

The wind has arrived in #Boulder, per a source. The source being me, a guy who just made the mistake of trying to open a car door. Gusts over 60 mph, per NCAR Mesa lab

Per Xcel map, about 16,000 customers without power in #Boulder County following planned outage

If you are in the blackout zone, remember to eat your ice cream. If you are not in the blackout zone, you should celebrate by eating your ice cream.

ALERT: Xcel will soon begin a planned power outage in parts of #Boulder County due to high winds and fire danger: www.axios.com/local/boulde...

The Trump administration has announced plans to close #Boulder's @NCAR_Science Mesa Lab: www.axios.com/local/boulde...

UPDATE: BVSD officials telling me that since the latest outage map includes a much smaller portion of the district, they are not planning on a district-wide closure at this time. #Boulder #cowx

UPDATE: Xcel has reduced the number of customers included to about 50,000, but planned area still includes parts of #Boulder County. CU Boulder just announced it will close

We are expecting Xcel to initiate preemptive power outages due to severe winds tomorrow at noon: www.axios.com/local/boulde... #Boulder #cowx

Poudre Valley Fire posted this photo of a stuck kitten they rescued, and I'm not going to lie, when I first saw the photo I thought, "Man, SMiLE's stuff is getting really realistic."

If you happen to be up, it's worth a trip outside #Boulder #cowx

Grandma celebrated her 100th birthday on Saturday! Still living on her own, still working on the farm, still tending her garden.

The city of #Boulder will allow the Dark Horse to remain open until March, and will not require developers to demolish it by the end of the year: www.axios.com/local/boulde...

Why we could be saying goodbye to the Dark Horse sooner than later: www.axios.com/local/boulde...

Meet Rocky the raccoon. Rocky burst through the roof of a Virginia ABC store, broke the security cameras, got liquored up and then passed out drunk next to a toilet until an officer came to get him. All in all, solid weekend for Rocky www.axios.com/local/richmo...

It is once again that time. To shuffle over to your window, lazily point your phone in the general direction of patio furniture, and take a photo to prove to others on social media that yes, snow has fallen. It is time, for the #CrappySnowPhotoOfTheDay. #Boulder #cowx

#Boulder County will move forward with a proposal for its north Boulder complex that will preserve Iris Fields www.axios.com/local/boulde...

Thanks to all of the readers that submitted their #Boulder County northern lights photos www.axios.com/local/boulde...

Doesn't look like weather is going to cooperate tonight

If the clouds break tonight in #Boulder, we could get another northern lights show www.axios.com/local/boulde...

You can't see it with the naked eye in the city, but use your camera and you can see an aurora in #Boulder right now

So apparently there is some sort of power outage in #Boulder. My source: Me, sitting on my couch in the pitch black

Sky outside in #Boulder tonight has a very "Stranger Things" vibe #cowx
