Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Thursday, December eighteenth.
Boulder is waking up today still shaking off the impacts of those powerful winds that roared through yesterday, with gusts topping 100 miles an hour in some spots and even shattering car windows around town. Crews are out early clearing debris and working to restore power, but the outages are widespread enough that Boulder Valley School District has closed all schools for the day, including before and after school care and enrichment. If you have students with finals this week, the district says missed exams will be pushed into the first week of January, so today is officially an unexpected snow day without the snow.
If you are on the roads, give yourself extra time. Emergency managers have been warning about downed limbs, scattered debris, some dark traffic signals, and higher demands on first responders. Treat any dark intersections like four way stops, and steer clear of any downed power lines.
For those still looking to get out of the house, Boulder’s community calendar is far from shut down. Early birds in tech can head to the Boulder AI and machine learning holiday meetup this morning, a chance to network, swap year end ideas, and maybe show off that questionable holiday sweater. Later in the morning, families with little ones can look toward toddler friendly story time offerings around the region if they need to burn some energy indoors.
On campus, CU Boulder’s Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research is hosting its INSTAAR coffee hour from two to three this afternoon out at the East Campus on Discovery Drive, promising hot coffee, tea, and at least one box of Voodoo doughnuts, plus a relaxed space to connect with researchers and students.
As evening rolls in, the Dairy Arts Center on Walnut becomes a hub for local culture. The film My Sunshine screens at seven, while the production Four Rational People offers a late afternoon performance, giving you options for both an early outing and a night at the theater without leaving town.
Regional holiday events continue across the Front Range, from light displays and markets to concerts and last chance gift fests, so if your power is out and you need a change of scenery, you have plenty of excuses to explore.
This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
