Episode Synopsis

Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Sunday, December 7, 2025. If you woke up wondering whether that storm in the high country delivered, the answer is a big yes. Some peaks just northwest of Nederland picked up more than 20 inches of new snow, with Eldora reporting over a foot, so skiers and riders heading west will find deep powder but also slick roads and chain laws in effect over the passes. Leave extra time and check conditions before you go, especially around Berthoud and Rabbit Ears, which were among the snowier spots in the state. Here in town, it is all about holiday lights, music, and markets. Downtown Boulder is glowing with the Snow Much Fun light displays, with hundreds of thousands of LEDs along Pearl Street and through the Civic Area, turning an evening stroll into a full-on winter wonderland. If you are shopping or grabbing dinner downtown tonight, plan a lap past the Dushanbe Teahouse and Civic lawn to see some of the brightest installations. On the arts front, the CU Holiday Festival continues at Macky Auditorium, bringing together campus choirs, bands, and orchestras for a big, classic holiday concert that has become a Boulder December staple. It is one of those events that pulls students, faculty, and longtime locals into the same room, and tickets tend to move quickly. If you are in the mood for something more low-key and literary, Trident Booksellers and Cafe has an evening event on the calendar, a reminder that even during peak holiday chaos there is still room for local readings, small gatherings, and a good cup of coffee on Pearl. And the Boulder County Farmers Markets Winter Market is rolling at the fairgrounds in Longmont, with about 150 regional farmers, ranchers, food producers, and artisans. It is a great one-stop spot if you are aiming for a locally sourced holiday table or handmade gifts. Sports fans have a bit of good news too. CU Buffs football wrapped up the early signing period by adding two more recruits to the 2026 class, including a four star athlete from IMG Academy and a defensive back from powerhouse Duncanville High in Texas, giving Colorado commitments from eight different states and more depth on both sides of the ball. As always, keep an eye on local event pages to confirm times and any weather related changes as organizers adjust to the snow and holiday rush. This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.For more http://www.quietplease.aiGet the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
