Colorado is getting ready to drop into a dangerous multi-day deep freeze! A surge from the Polar Vortex will be pushing below zero temperatures across the region with several burst of snow beginning Friday night.

Thursday will have mainly sunny skies and above-average highs before arctic air moves in for the weekend with snow on Saturday in the Denver weather forecast.

The park, which was once a golf course where even some of the best golfers like Tiger Woods had set foot in, will now be a space where residents can enjoy the open space. For Denver resident Mike Fernandez, it will be a place where he will be able to continue to bird watch.

Denver will acquire the former Park Hill Golf Course in an unprecedented land swap deal that will give the city its fourth largest park, Mayor Mike Johnston said Wednesday. Why it matters: The move all but settles a longstanding fight between those who wanted development on the site and those wishing to keep it as open space.
