>> okay. it's 6:22. we have to go on. mug shot photos normally are not the greatest moment in anyone's life. usually they're not the most flattering photos. >> they are not. an ohio man was not thrilled with the picture police posted, so he decided to do a little something about it. >> how about that? >> according to their facebook page, donald pew spoke to police about the two unflattering pictures of him and requested they post a new pic that he sent to them. it captioned. here, this is a better photo. that one is terrible. the post has gone viral since it was posted. the department said they request him come see them in person. >> nice picture, but why don't you come in in person. >> him and the snake thief, i don't know what they were thinking. a driver learned why you should not park next to lake erie when it's really cold outside. we'll show you that coming up. first a look at weather and traffic. it's going to be windy today. >> windy and plenty cold right here in colorado. well below zero in grand county. the valley is getting below zero as well, gunnison area and we have extremely cold temperatures running between 15 to 30 below zero. i've seen it about 30 below tabernash. our next mountain snow starts next thursday and finishes up by late in the day friday, a 4- 9-inch snow. not much going on until thursday morning. 1-3 inches. then we're going to added on to that thursday night into late friday morning and saturday. so, again, friday night and saturday we're going to have some good snow coming in. so, saturday morning, another powder day. >> another powder day. that's definitely going to change our ride out to the west side. that's why we're starting at vail today. icy snow packed shoulders there, but main roads are looking beautiful this morning. no chain laws across the country drive. it is icy and snow packed. that's going to change as we head into the rest of the week. we have one hit and run crash drivers are constantly warned do not park your car close to the waters of lake erie, especially in the winter time. one driver found out why. waves and spray from the lake combined with freezing temperatures are enough to encase a car in ice. >> bummer. >> look at this. >> wow. >> oh, how terrible. how are they going to get the car out of there? there's two options. slowly chip it away or just let nature take its course and wait for temperatures to warm up and have all of that ice melt. i have a feeling that would take quite a while. >> may is not that far away. >> they will never do that again. rock legend david bowie is going to live on. the cincinnati zoo asked for they share a birthday on january 8th. the rock star died two days after the chick was born. she was 69 years old. obviously the chick named, kind of a cute thing. >> we're handing out free bronco magnets. coming up, we're going to meet some of the fans that have been lined up for a couple of hours tonight--president barack obama will deliver his final state of the union address. and it won't be like years' p obama will deliver his final state of the union address. it won't be like years past. what the president wants to focus on in his speech. the latest technology, state-of- the-art equipment, and it it's all in the training facility in northern colorado. we'll take you inside to show you the future of first responder training. are you united in orange?

sunday's game. >> i put us in the mid-40s. we'll have moisture moving our way into the state. it's in the pacific northwest and northern california today. total mountain snow thursday and friday in the 4-9-inch range. then thursday and friday we get a brief shot of that moisture with cooler air before things warm back up for sunday's broncos game. as far as the snow goes friday afternoon, itlooks like an inch or less. along the continental divide, thursday but friday night, a 4- 9-inch snow. we're going to have really fine conditions for skiing in mountains. >> man, it's been a great >> yeah. 6:43 right now. hate parking? got deep markets? well, if you can afford this well, tomorrow community college is going to be holding -- colleen ferreira is getting a look at this facility. she's live this windsor. it's a pretty big deal for those folks. >> reporter: it is. brand new public safety training center. along with this brand new praise also comes incredible new tools where students can have a true hands-on experience. right in front of me, this is called a digital cadaver lab. what students can do, really test out surgeries beforehand. would do in the field. so i've been testing this out, experimenting. then i just move this ahead. look. i can look right inside the brain. that's just incredible to be able to practice surgeries, test things out before you actually do them, whether it's in the field or the operating room. i want to bring in -- your students a week from today will be hands on training on this very machine, one of the first in colorado. >> that's right. this table is an amazing table. everything you would do on a cadaver you can do on this table, and you can practice it multiple times, not just once. so you can look at the muscular system, the nervous system, the skin, the organs. whatever you would like. students have an opportunity to try out the procedures they're learning and practice. >> i think that's really cool too because doctors in our area could actually up load surgeries, guys, so they can they go into the operating room. someone tweeting me a little earlier and said it's like a real life operations game, but it's a game that's really going to help people test things out before you have to deal with the real deal in an operating room in the field for a lot of the students here at the community college. i want to bring you back here to show you that, yes, i feel bad i sliced off part of this fine person's head, but look, i can go right back there. you can move this all the way back down. this is truly hands on learning, marty. for this college to have one of the only machines like this in colorado, it's going to give students that true taste of what it feels like to do something to save lives. >> it's amazing. if you don't get the wishbone right in place, is it going to buzz at you? i will have to ask colleen that in our next shot. it's been very cold in central colorado. 26 below gunnison. 4 in durango and foggy. we have dense fog going in parts of the san juan river base. the lower stretches of highway 150. less than a quarter mile visibility through 11:00 a.m. 45 to 55 miles per hour this morning. this afternoon we'll still be cooking along between 35 and 45. it's going to be windy on the west side of town. that really shouldn't change all that much. of course you're over on the east side of town where it's calm and nice, amelia. >> we're starting to build up volume wise. our live view of 225 and parker road show that delay. this is on the earlier side. i wouldn't be surprised if we between dtc, tamarac, and the split. we'll check that out before the next update. 8 or minutes across the lakewood and boulder commutes. highway 93, i-70 and also u.s. 6 are very gusty. we're clearing up the earlier hit and run crash across champas and park. we have a hit and run near lincoln. we'll look into that and have an update for you in just a minute. hate parking your car? then you might want to buy a tesla. the vehicle can now park itself in your garage. the company released a software update that allows users to click one button. it will shut down. the car has to be lined up. it's safer than letting drivers park their own vehicle. >> who came up with 33 feet, not 30, not 35, 33. >> had to be something. >> exactly. >> same person who put the price tag on that thing. >> i need to hire my own driver. >> do it. 6:49 right now. the prep for the playoff push began yesterday. the broncos return to the practice field. it was the first since the pittsburgh steelers. the steelers are a little banged up headed into this week's matchup. elite sever antonio brown is undergoing concussion protocol. roethlisberger is questionable now. he injured his shoulder against the bengals, but don't think denver won't be prepared for them to play. >> i'm not buying it. i'm not buying that. man, i'm expecting him to play. i'm expecting him to be 100%. think about it. >> absolutely. we would rather talk about them being banged up than us being banged up. a lot of broncos fans may be drinking the same thing, and it's probably not what you're thinking. broncos fan apparently love bud light and bacardi rum. that's the neilsen bar moment study. it tracks what beers and liquors specifically nfl fans are talking about the most. >> according to the denver business journal, they found denver and nine other teams prefer bud light overall. no love from denver to the local breweries, which we were surprised about. although blue moon is favored by four other teams, and coors light, the favorite of three nfl teams, not ours. >> and bacardi. >> not together. >> no. >> that's terrible. >> thank you for clarifying. >> i wanted to clarify for corey. you can't keep alabama football down for long. last night the crimson tied derrick henry blasting through a huge hole, taking it down 50 yards for the score. that's when i thought it was over. end of the 1st quarter, things tie up. clemson qb watson breaks it up with a touchdown throw. 14-7. bama comes back and ties it up again before half-time. now, after half-time they came out ready to play. in the 4th quarter, let's fast forward, alabama up 4. the clemson kickoff is fielded. it takes takes the wind out of your sails. makes a dive for the pylon. that puts the tide up. icing on the cake, derrick henry, makes it into the end zone. tide wins it. their fourth national championship in seven seasons, fifth of coach nick saban's career. >> talk about an offensive game. 85 points scored in national championship game. that's incredible. all right. wind up and down the front range especially at the base of the foothills, western suburbs through boulder and then up through the continental divide. it's in the pacific northwest today. it will start working its way into colorado's mountains on thursday. it's going to stay that way across the state. again, some of those extraordinarily cold temperatures, 20, 30 below and pretty close to that cold in the valley this morning. dry conditions around here today. highway 287, a very windy day for you. that pushes temperatures in the mid-40s to 50. northern colorado. a lot of snow blowing around with 30s and 40s in the foothills today. statewide, dry, a few fair weather clouds here. a batch of clouds moving the state. it does not look like we're going to get any snow during the day today. 30s, 40s on the plains. 20s, 30s for the mountains. west closer to 50 here in the metro area. windy on the west side of town and in the foothills. foothills going up to 55 this morning. 45 this afternoon. it stays windy there tonight and that pumps us up into the 50s tomorrow. warm day, breezy, out of the west. thursday. friday, that late day snow after 3:00 here. it's an inch or less. it doesn't look like a big thing for us, and then clearing out, warming up for sunday, but i will have it in a second in our planning outlook. >> we're
