Fort Collins
Thursday, December 4th, 2025
Good morning, Fort Collins. Here's your local news at a glance for Thursday, the 4th of December.
EDUCATION NEWS
- ➤ The Associated Students at CSU ended a busy fall semester on Dec. 3 after passing more than 20 pieces of legislation and breaking event attendance records to boost student support on campus. They will launch a campus leader series next semester + work on state-level advocacy as student elections approach. Colorado State University
ENVIRONMENT NEWS
- ➤ Colorado's first winter storm hit Wednesday morning, dropping 3–6 inches along I-25 and foothills before snow ended in Fort Collins by noon; patchy ice later made roads slick. CBS Colorado
- ➤ A heavy snowstorm hit the Front Range Wednesday — leaving icy roads and dangerous driving conditions for Fort Collins commuters as temperatures plummeted late into the night. CBS Colorado
GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ Fort Collins residents should not leave their vehicles running unattended to warm up because city code and state law impose a $60 fine if the engine runs for five minutes or more, and although state law offers a remote start exception (if the key is kept away), the city code does not. The Coloradoan
- ➤ Fort Collins has divided snow removal into eight routes after the season’s first significant snowfall, with major east-west and north-south streets prioritized to keep hospitals and emergency services accessible — residents can track some named plows online while untracked equipment clears smaller roads. The Coloradoan
- ➤ Fort Collins leaders approved a proposal on Dec. 2 to delay snow removal enforcement until more than 2 inches fall (except when ice is present) to ease staff workload. A final vote will come later this month as residents must still clear sidewalks promptly for safety. The Coloradoan
HEALTH NEWS
- ➤ The new Community Dental Clinic at Front Range Community College will begin serving patients in January 2026, offering expanded dental care for local residents. The Coloradoan
