Things to know if you’re staying in Boulder over winter break

Here are a few things to keep in mind if you live off campus and are planning to stay in Boulder over winter break.

  • Remember that snow must be removed from sidewalks 24 hours after the snow stops falling. Check with your landlord if its your responsibility to clear snow.
  • Keep your heat at about 60 degrees to prevent pipes from freezing.
  • Plan ahead when walking, cycling or driving in winter weather. Watch for black ice, slush and other hazardous conditions.
  • Turn your front porch light on at night and lock up whenever you're not home.
  • Remember that fireworks are illegal in Boulder. Find other ways to celebrate.
