Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for February 14th. Happy Valentines Day, Boulderites, whether youre celebrating with a sweetheart, your favorite hiking buddy, or just treating yourself to some well-deserved solo vibes. Lets kick off with the big news rippling through our water-dependent Front Range community: the Colorado River Basin states have hit another wall in negotiations, missing todays deadline to agree on post-2026 management as current guidelines expire. Upper Basin voices like Colorados Becky Mitchell argue theyre facing hydrologic reality without the water to spare, while Lower Basin negotiators push back on rejected compromise offers amid record-low snowpack feeding our headwaters in Rocky Mountain National Park. This deadlock puts Lake Powell and Mead at risk, threatening water for 40 million people, farms, and hydropower, and it hits home here where every dry spell reminds us how precious our rivers are. The feds are stepping in with a draft environmental plan, but expect more tension aheadstay tuned as this unfolds.
