Warning: Sun glare can cause issues for drivers on I-70 during winter months

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 16:31:36 GMT

FLOYD HILL, Colo. (KDVR) — The Colorado Department of Transportation is warning drivers that with the time change, there could be closures along eastbound Interstate 70 due to sun glare. The morning sun, in addition to the angle of Floyd Hill, can create a blinding glare for eastbound drivers. Each morning, the Colorado State Patrol and CDOT will collaborate in evaluating the roadway to determine if a closure is necessary. This means that morning road closures can occur for up to an hour between exits 244 and 248, just east of Idaho Springs, because of intense sun glare. CDOT notes that the sun glare can also be an issue as far east as Genesee. Why isn’t Colorado on permanent daylight saving time? The early morning commute from sunrise to around 8:30 a.m. will likely be rerouted to U.S. 6 at exit 244 near Floyd Hill. From there, drivers can choose to continue on the road through Clear Creek Canyon or turn onto U.S. 40 and return to the interstate at exit 248. On Monday, CDOT had ...

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 16:31:36 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — With ski areas opening and fresh powder piling up, ski season is just getting started. Before you hit the slopes, check your gear. It might be time for new equipment if you see these signs. Ski gear has different lifecycles depending on how often and in what conditions you ski in. Chet Champion is an assistant manager at SNÖBAHN, an indoor ski and snowboard center, and he said that gear usually lasts about five years.  2023 Colorado ski areas opening dates Champion said three factors change the lifespan of the equipment: Frequency, ski conditions and storage. "Gear that sees the mountain maybe 10 days a year, is used by someone who likes to ride in calm and easy conditions and is well taken care of in between those uses and, in the summer, can definitely last longer than five years," said Champion. "All these factors play a role and even gear that is well maintained in between every session may not make it quite that long for the avid rider who is getting 30, 50, o...

Trump arrives in court to testify in New York civil case alleging financial fraud

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 16:31:36 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump arrived Monday morning at a Manhattan courthouse in anticipation of hours of testimony in his civil fraud trial, a spectacle of a former president and the leading Republican presidential candidate defending himself against allegations that he dramatically inflated his net worth.The charges cut to the very heart of the brand Trump spent decades carefully crafting and put him at risk of losing control of much of his business empire.But the appearance may also mark the beginning of what will likely be a defining feature of the 2024 election if Trump becomes his party’s nominee: a major candidate, on trial, using the witness stand as a campaign platform as he eyes a return to the White House while facing multiple criminal indictments.“It’s going to be a stunning moment. This is dramatic enough if he was simply an ex-president facing these charges. But the fact that he is the overwhelming favorite to run the GOP, it makes this a stag...

Book Review: Edel Rodriguez shows Cuban history as a warning for the US in new graphic memoir ‘Worm’

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 16:31:36 GMT

Decades before Edel Rodriguez made his iconic, mouth-only political illustration of Donald Trump for the cover of Time magazine, he was a boy growing up in Fidel Castro’s Cuba.In his new graphic memoir, “Worm: A Cuban American Odyssey,” Rodriguez mixes historical context and personal stories to recount his harrowing journey growing up under — then escaping — Communism and authoritarianism in Cuba, as well as the warning signs he recognizes in America today.Before diving into his life, Rodriguez paints a picture of the Cuba he was born into, starting with a short history of the Cuban Revolution that culminated in the January 1959 insurrection and Castro seizing power. Then, Rodriguez zooms in to focus on the small town of El Gabriel, 40 kilometers (25 miles) south of Havana, where his family has lived for generations. Here we see the echoes of Cuban politics in Edel’s daily life as his grandfather saves every scrap and his grandmother warns that the walls have ears.The style is...
