#Boulder Fire specifying this is NOT a wildfire, but a non structure fire. Reading between the lines, might be an electric/transformer fire. There are outages in the area

I was driving during the best parts, but there was a pretty majestic sunset last night in Longmont/Firestone. By the time I pulled over this In-N-Out popped up it of nowhere

Someone with a better camera than me needs to get a shot of the moon over Colorado right now. It's kinda creepy

UPDATE: #Boulder officials said the people responsible for this morning's "ICE OUT" on the Flatirons will not be cited since the sign was an overlay and did not damage the rock

The #Boulder County ospreys are back. But not before the resident female had to fend off a rival female the camera chatroom has simply dubbed, "the girlfriend." www.axios.com/local/boulde...

I had to go to Death Valley last weekend to actually remind myself what water looks like. And so of course it snowed in #Boulder while I was gone. You're welcome

Heads up #Boulder: Stock up on water and batteries, charge your phones and eat your ice cream today

This chart shows how lucky we were that #Boulder didn't see the kind of high winds during the Bluebell Fire that we had seen for most of the week #cowx

Mitchell Byars @mitchellbyars.bsky.social · 09/01/2026

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

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
