The Great Conjunction: Check out this photo by Kenneth Lorenzen of the Great Conjunction as seen near Government Springs on Monday evening. Jupiter and Saturn are close, but not quite aligned. The smaller dots are Jupiter's moons. If you missed last night's show, fear not. It occurs all week, although Monday night was considered the best for viewing. Here's a story from India.
Here is what motorists can expect Tuesday, Dec. 22: — Traffic down to one lane in each direction on I-70 at Idaho Springs through the day and evening, with possible two-hour delays. — The eastbound side is down to one lane this morning through 6 p.m. Tuesday. — The westbound side will be down to one lane Tuesday, 9 a.m. until as late as 11 p.m.
Avalanche fatalities: Three people were swept away and killed in two avalanches over the weekend, prompting more warnings about unstable snowpack in area mountains.
On Dec. 18, an avalanche buried and killed a man in the Anthracite range near Crested Butte. The Gunnison Country Times identified the victim as Jeff Schneider, who according to the paper, worked for 35 years as a ski patroller at Crested Butte.
The same day, Durango residents Dr. Jeff Paffendorf, 51, and Albert Perry, 55, died in an avalanche that swept down the "Battleship" path southeast of Ophir Pass, in San Juan County.
Winter sports will be happening sooner than originally scheduled after CHSAA secured a variance from Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) and state health officials to move up the Season B (winter) sports timeline.
Earlier this month, CDPHE told CHSAA it would not approve a variance for the initial proposed Jan. 4 start date for Season B following a statewide spike in COVID-19 cases and limited information on what disease incidence will look like next month.
