Wowzers😍

Mitch Green captured the northern lights over Granby on Oct. 7. There's another chance to catch them tonight around midnight.

Tonight’s potential for another northern lights sighting is the result of a massive solar flare that occurred on Oct. 8. The flare, a “big flash of light” creating a “tremendous release of energy,” sent billions of tons of plasma hurtling through space at a speed of millions of miles per hour.

“The question is, ‘Is it directed at us?’ And we believe it to be,” said Bryan Brasher, who works for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Weather Prediction Center.

The agency today issued a rare warning to alert power grid operators, satellite and telecommunication companies to prepare for potential impacts to services caused by the storm’s current.

Keep them wild🐻

🍂 We appreciate our friend Kris Ramer sharing this recent bear encounter from a few days ago around 6 p.m. in Innsbruck. 🍂

🐻 Colorado Parks and Wildlife reminds us to bear proof our homes and our lives 🐻

✔️ Don’t feed bears, and don’t put out food for other wildlife that attracts bears.
✔️ Be responsible about trash and bird feeders.
✔️ Burn food off barbeque grills and clean after each use.
✔️ Keep all bear-accessible windows and doors closed and locked, including home, garage and vehicle doors.
✔️ Don’t leave food, trash, coolers, air fresheners or anything that smells in your vehicle.
✔️ Pick fruit before it ripens, and clean up fallen fruit.
✔️ Talk to your neighbors about doing their part to be bear responsible.
✔️ If a bear comes near your home, do your best to chase it away. Yell, blow a whistle, clap your hands, and make other loud noises. But never approach a bear.

Violations come with a $1,000 fine. Gas/propane appliances with shut-off valves and fires inside permanent structures are still permitted.

Here comes the ❄️!! Be safe! Be prepared!

The highest probabilities and confidence of heavy snow Wednesday through Thursday night exists in the mountains, foothills, and Palmer Divide, where probabilities of a foot or more of snow are greater than 60-70% in many areas. The chances for a big March snowstorm decrease rather rapidly as one transitions east and northeast from Denver across the plains. Stay tuned for the latest updates on this approaching winter storm.

⚠️As of this morning: Berthoud pass remains closed. ⚠️

All other road closures within the valley and I-70 have been lifted. Avoid taking creatively alternate routes due to road conditions, lack of cell coverage, and it just being a bad idea all around.

❄️Heavy traffic is reported to exist on I-70 from Vail to Denver due to travelers scrambling to return home. Please be cautious and patient if this is along your destination. Roads are plowed but remain snow covered and very icy. ❄️🚗🚌🛻🚙🚛🚑

Winter weather warnings and watches remain in effect throughout the county today. snow accumulation and high winds are expected in areas. 🌬

We appreciate everyone's patience and flexibility as the recent storm system lessens and its affects are addressed. 🌥
