    Boulder is going to float away. Safe to say that all the local canyons have mucho runoff.

    In related news, Boulder residents finally relieved to be rid of stale hippy smell...

    We closed 4 bank branches in and around Boulder today.

    west bound 24 closed at I-25 with lots of flooded streets. Imagine if it was colder, this would be a blizzard like no other!

    I would say canyon riding north of I70 is finished until next year. If the road even still exists it will be so dirty riding will be no fun An interesting fact I heard this morning is had this happened in December we would be talking 10 to 15 FEET of snow.

    Fuck I just got back after being evacuated 2 days ago. Longmont in parts is still nasty, but doing MUCH MUCH better. I can now drive across town.

    I thought this was Colorado not Seattle?!
