Boulder's Backyard Buzz: Wind Woes, Hoops Hype, and Umphrey's Magic
Published 3 months, 1 week ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Saturday, January 17th. Kicking off the weekend with a mix of action, music, and community vibes, here's what's making waves in our Flatirons backyard today.
First, a serious note from yesterday: a shooting in nearby Adams County left a sheriff's deputy and another person injured near 74th and Broadway, with police activity spilling onto US 36 close to home. The sheriff's office urges caution if you're heading that way, as investigations continue—stay safe out there, Boulder.[1] Meanwhile, those fierce winds battering northern Colorado prompted Xcel Energy to issue public safety power shutoffs yesterday, affecting thousands in Larimer and Weld counties to prevent wildfires like the Marshall fire that scarred us back in 2021. Gusts hit 65 mph under a red flag warning, knocking out power for nearly 7,000 homes at one point, with some schools closed. Winds are easing today, but check Xcel's outage map if you're planning trips north—it's a reminder how our mountain weather keeps us on our toes.[5]
Shifting to brighter spots, CU Buffs hockey fans, brace for round four tonight at the CU Rec Center Ice Rink. After an 8-0 shutout loss to the University of Mary Marauders last night—sparked by Matt Scribner's shorthanded sizzler and Caleb Cross's perfect 28 saves—the series finale drops the puck at 7 pm MT. The Buffs are hungry to even the season score against these ranked foes.[3]
For fun seekers, tonight's the night at Boulder Theater where Umphrey's McGee wraps their Sky's the Limit Tour with Night 3, presented by 97.3 KBCO, Rooster, and Odell Brewing—doors at 8 pm, expect jam magic that'll have you dancing into the wee hours. Tickets are moving fast, starting around 143 bucks average.[2][4] Over at the Dairy Arts Center, Glowing Goose Productions brings Fiddler on the Roof to the stage at 7 pm, a timeless tale of tradition and resilience that hits different in our eclectic community.[8] And don't miss the Silent Disco fundraiser for Nosilla Dance Project at Junkyard Social Club starting at 6 pm—glow up, groove silently, and support local dance dreams in Boulder's most creative hotspot.[6]
Athletics heat up too: Air Force track stars hit the Potts Indoor Invitational today at Colorado's Indoor Practice Facility, building on yesterday's field event wins like Paige Birch's epic weight throw. Sports fans, this is prime viewing for future Falcons flying high.[7] Art lovers, check out the new Adularia digital installation at First Western Trust's Canyon Blvd office—a mesmerizing 3D landscape by local artist Chris Coleman, born from hikes on our trails, symbolizing clarity like the adularia gems dotting our peaks. It's free to visit and captures Boulder's wild soul perfectly.[9]
Whether you're catching tunes, cheering puck drops, or wandering trails, today's lineup connects us to what makes Boulder pulse. This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
