Two Mountain Bluebirds decorating pine trees in my neighborhood. #birds 🪶

Pair of Downy Woodpeckers being fiesty🪶 Also, I want to thank everyone who posts on the Bird feed❣️ I leave this feed on by default and "bird scroll" daily. I would like to like each post if I could. Such a great alternative to the nasty news. Keep it up!

A Pine Grosbeak working the feeder at the State Forest State Park Moose Visitor Center, Colorado. #birds 🪶 #colorado

Birds with names I always remember😁 Yellow-rumped Warbler and Common Goldeneye duck. #birds 🪶 #wildlifephotography #colorado

Bosses...I'd recommend your employees work from home today if possible. Snow is light most of today, but heavier snow moves in just in time for the PM commute. Back end (5p/later) of the commute looks especially rough. #COwx #denver

Early idea: Heaviest snow will be Friday. Likely to favor our southern mountains, but most everyone gets a biggie. #COwx #colorado

NEW: Winter Weather Advisory issued for the entire Denver metro area from 2pm Tuesday through 11am Wednesday. 2-6” of snow will make tomorrow night’s and Wednesday AM commutes especially snowy and slippery. Includes Boulder, Fort Collins, Greeley: #COwx #denver

An early morning moonset over Rocky Mountain National Park. Mount Meeker and Longs Peak (14,259 feet) are visible on far left. Mount Meeker is farthest left. #landscapephotography #landscape #photography #monochrome #blackandwhite

A Wyoming dusky grouse struts and dances with an attitude to let me know this was his part of the mountain top. #birds #wildlifephotography #Wyoming

Czech out Verboten new beer release "Czech Dark Lager" while it lasts🍺 Picked up a 4-pack tonight..great brew! Also "Stout Fest 2025" coming up. verbotenbrewing.com/events/verbo... #beer #craftbeer #colorado

The Greater blue-eared starling (taken in Botswana, Africa) are almost unreal looking. A common bird there but eye catching for a first time visitor. #Birds #wildlifephotography #Africa

NEW: Winter Weather Advisory for the south and east edges of the Denver area for tomorrow, including Castle Rock and Elizabeth (along with Fort Morgan and Limon) from midnight tonight-2p tomorrow. 2-8” of snow (huge range, I know) tomorrow during the AM commute tomorrow. #COwx

Colder air behind this into early February looks less and less impressive, as a ridge looks more likely to build in now. Would lean towards a mild/dry start to February (next week), though longer range modeling hinting at a more active Feb 6-12 period (10+ days out). #COwx

This poor Mountain bluebird has just found out about the latest reports on the state of X/Twitter. #birds 🪶 #wildlifephotography

Euro fairly consistent with a snowy Saturday around Denver, with 2-5" looking likely. Most of that snow probably falls during the first half of the day. Northern mountains likely to get a solid 6-16"+ storm this weekend, most of which probably falls on Saturday. #COwx

❄️ Cloudy and bitterly cold, with light snow through the day, and an additional 1-2” of accumulation (maybe a bit more in the foothills). 🥶 More important: temperatures drop into the single digits with sub-zero wind chills today, and lows tonight drop below zero. #COwx

A first for me - a magpie and mule deer doe hanging out. Not sure if the deer appreciates it though. Image from 16Jan2025 at Devil's Backbone Open Space, Loveland, Colorado. #wildlifephotography #wildlife #birds #colorado

View from Mariana Butte summit with a view of Boedecker Lake in Loveland, Colorado today. #COwx

Modeling more bullish on a notable 2nd wave of snow Sunday night-Monday along a secondary Arctic front. If this pans out (very much an if), 6"+ Denver area totals very much in play from Friday night-Monday. Will have more on 9NEWS in the AM. #COwx

-20° or lower wind chills possible in Denver for ~48 straight hours from Sunday morning through Tuesday morning. #COwx

Good evening Bluesky from northern Colorado! #COwx @bianchiweather.bsky.social

Beautiful sliver of a moon (waxing crescent) trailing Venus tonight in Northern Colorado - 3Jan2025 @ about 7pm MST! #COwx @bianchiweather.bsky.social

Pardon the power lines but what a sunset!

Ready for (actual) winter? Next week looks cold (highs in the 30s in Denver) with more waves of mountain snow. Maybe some in Denver. #COwx

Great sunsets twice this week! Never gets old. Loveland, Colorado. @bianchiweather.bsky.social #COwx #colorado #sunset

Sunset near Berthoud. Longs Peak and Mt. Meeker in the background lower right.

102 mph (!) gust near Gold Hill outside Boulder late last night COwx

@bianchiweather.bsky.social mentioned that the sunset might be good this evening.

Nice sunset in Loveland, Colorado tonight..seems that mountain wave sets up good colors/textures. @bianchiweather.bsky.social #COwx #colorado

Handsome guy posing for his social media shot. Almost every year a bachelor herd of 3 to 5 bull elk hang out in a field behind my home and give us a good show! #photography #wildlifephotography #colorado

Early glance: Not looking great for a white Christmas in Denver (or Hannukah - which begins the same day this year!). Not a favorable pattern for snow, but some modeling has some action just before/on Christmas Day. But my early lean would be no dice this year. #COwx

Dream Lake at Rocky Mountain NP this afternoon. Beautiful clear day! @bianchiweather.bsky.social

A colorful roseate spoonbill does a flyby of an alligator in High Island Texas Audubon sanctuary - from a past trip there. This area has a significant rookery for all kinds of water birds. #birds #wildlifephotography #sanctuary #texas #audobon
