  1. Anyone know what's going on with what looks like military police and "weapons unit" vans speeding East out of Longmont with their lights on?

  3. Hmmm. Power went out at 10:20, apparently. My solar backup kicked in, so I did not notice until I got a message from Xcel saying they are working on it. For a place that gets this windy (this is at least the 5th instance of 80+ mph winds this season) they have way too many above-ground power lines.

  4. The joys of Boulder in winter. About midnight the wind at NCAR backed around to due west, temps rose by 20 degrees F, and the winds picked up a bit: 30 mph winds with 50 to 60 mph gusts. There were a few hours of 60 mph winds with 80mph gusts, but that seems to be slacking off. A little.

    It's hard to say how much snow we got, maybe an inch, but its been blowing sideways and drifting so current depths range from nothing to 'oh, well, that's annoying, glad the plow guy came'

  5. I have been graced by the rarest of all temperatures: negative zero degrees. It almost makes up for the snow drought.

  6. Trump is shutting down NCAR, one of the finest climate research facilities in the world. The I. M. Pei building at the foot of the flatirons is iconic. There is no reason for this except spite. He can't rot in hell soon enough.

  11. If #trailrunning folks in the #BoulderCO area are looking for something to do this weekend, consider joining me at the Eldora Alpenrun 5k/10k. Proceeds benefit the #Nederland Fire Relief fund.

    I was planning to get up into the mountains anyway this weekend, might as well do it for a good cause.

  12. An old cottonwood tree leans sideways and reaches out to another tree for support?

  13. Tackled what turned out to be a really really tough climb today on the local #BoulderCO trails today. I don't often take pictures of the bike leaning against stuff (BLAS), but having made it up grades as steep as 18%, I figured a little celebration was in order.

  14. #Colorado - #Libraries and the ‘economy of sharing’

    An ode to the palace of the people

    By Kaylee Harter - Apr. 9, 2025

    "Visit one of BPL’s #makerspaces, a feature that’s become a staple in many libraries, and you can use #3DPrinters, #looms, #LaserCutters, #ScreenPrinting equipment and more.

    " 'It’s a collaborative learning environment,' Farnan says. 'We’re learning together. If you were to go into the makerspace today and ask, like, ‘I’m thinking about doing this,’ then they would say, ‘I don’t know how to do that, but let’s figure it out.’

    " 'That is inherently resilient.'

    "He recalls a blind artist who came in with a unique challenge: 'She wanted to be able to see her drawings.'

    " 'They worked with her with 3D printers, with the laser cutters and that kind of thing, in order to transfer her drawings into dimensional objects, because they were abstractions, so that she could then see them with her fingers.'

    "Despite the always expanding array of programming and services, the books themselves — and literacy for all ages — are ever important."

  15. I have since learned there is one in Loveland, Littleton, and CO Springs. SO there's 3. BUT WE CAN DO BETTER THAN THAN. Denver?? Boulder?? Aurora? Why are y'all sleeping on this?
