Phish Rumors, Ski Meetups & Where to Find the Best Trivia Tonight

Another day, another Boulder sunrise over the Flatirons. If you’re looking for something to do besides complain about the cold and snow (guilty 🙋), we’ve got trivia, open mic nights, and the legendary Banff Film Festival on deck. Stay warm, stay entertained, and as always, stay weird, Boulder.

🌤️ Weather

Hope you like your mornings extra chilly because Tuesday is bringing the deep freeze. 🥶

🌨️ Day: A 20% chance of snow with clouds dominating the sky and a high of 18°F—basically, the kind of day that makes you question all your life choices. Winds will be light from the northeast at 5-10 mph.

❄️ Night: More snow likely before 11pm, then just a whole lot of cold and cloudiness. Temps will dip down to 1°F, which is frankly rude, but at least winds stay light. New snow? Less than half an inch, so don’t get your powder hopes up.

☀️ Sunrise: 6:49 AM | 🌅 Sunset: 5:40 PM
🌙 Moon: Waning Gibbous | Moonset: 9:20 AM

Final verdict: Bundle up, find excuses to stay indoors, and maybe reconsider that morning walk. 🚀
