Happy Friday, Longmont! On this day in 1923, the Walt Disney Company was founded. Since then, it’s become one of the most iconic companies of all time. The House of Mouse has received 152 Academy Awards, created some of the world’s most beloved stories and characters, built overpriced theme parks (incredible ones, nonetheless), sent countless cease and desist letters, and made way too many superhero movies. Happy birthday, Disney!

Oh, and here’s your obligatory reminder to pick up your free donut at King Soopers after the Broncos 17-14 overtime win over the Seattle Seahawks.

Today — Results from this week’s rain, the Longmont Museum’s grand reopening and a Silver Creek tennis player surges into the semifinal of the state tournament.

Let’s dive in.

After a 14-day streak of no rain, mother nature returned to Longmont with a three-day run of her own.

Longmont recorded the most precipitation it’s seen in a single day in nearly four months, according to data from the National Weather Service.

By the numbers:

Snow made its Fall debut into Colorado mountain ranges, too. Snowfall totals across many high-elevation areas amounted to around 6-12 inches. Loveland Ski Area said it got its first snow of the season Tuesday morning, but only collected about four inches of snow this week.

Winter is coming?

The National Weather Service issued the first freeze warning of the year for Longmont. It went into effect at midnight and continues until 9 a.m. today. After that, conditions will be noticeably cheerier — Longmont’s has a sunny day with a high of 56 degrees forecasted.

City council to meet with Board of Education: Next Wednesday, Longmont City Council will convene with the St. Vrain Valley School District Board of Education for a discussion on several hot topics. Safety and security is a major subject on the agenda. City council and the seven-member board will mull improvements to street crossing for students, gang response and intervention, and the SCORE team — a group of school co-responders that includes a police officer, a behavioral health clinician and a paramedic, who are specially designated for mental health crises. The meeting will also discuss opportunities for collaboration, including housing, early care & education, and future development.

Victim in Friday crash identified: 63-year-old Troy McCutcheon was identified by the Boulder County Coroner as the victim in a deadly crash between a motorcycle and a pickup truck last Friday. The crash occurred near 21st Avenue and Terry Street, and caused Longmont Police to close the intersection for roughly four hours. Details as to what cause the collision are still unclear, and the incident remains under investigation.

Silver Creek tennis player surges to semifinals of state tournament: Henry Richter, a senior at Silver Creek High School, cruised through day one of the Colorado Boys Tennis State Tournament. The Raptors’ no. 3 singles player won both his matches in straight sets, edging Evergreen senior Gordon Salmen 6-2, 6-4 in the first round, then toppling D’Evelyn senior Simon Czarnecki 6-2, 6-3 in the second round. Richter now moves on to the semifinals to face Colorado Academy junior Hendrik Jordaan. Silver Creek also had three doubles teams in the tournament, but all were ousted. The Raptors’ nos. 2 and 4 doubles teams fell in the first round, while no. 3 doubles pair Tate Kostelecky and Nate Dudas won their first round match, but fell to a pair of juniors from Mullen High School. No Longmont school has won a state championship in tennis since a Longmont High no. 4 doubles team did it in 1995. The only other state title? Longmont senior Wayne Coates’ no. 1 singles championship run in 1949.
