Hey SG! I want to mention that we are also trying to make it a bigger priority to put timely information up on our
285Bound Facebook page
and
Twitter account
, so if you have Liked/Followed those, you'll get the updates that way too. If you check out our FB page, you'll see that we had some great comments on Saturday by fans that really helped - we encourage anyone to post what they experience for themselves out on the road either on those types of posts on FB, or on the
Traffic, Cams, and Road Conditions
thread like jf1acai mentioned. Our hope was that we would get better and better at letting each other know what's happening out there! I myself didn't know how bad it was getting on Saturday until a friend of mine posted that she did a 180 somewhere along 285, had miraculously not hit anyone (or anyone hit her) and was waiting for her BF to come rescue her - that kind of information is invaluable!
As well, that first post in the
Traffic, Cams, and Road Conditions
thread is meant to serve as a "check here before heading out" information resource. It's got links to CDOT apps for your smart phones, other Twitter feeds that we've found to be useful, and our favorite cameras and variable message signs along 285 and C470. We hope they come in handy!

Just go to your market icon.
Search for Radio Reference.
Download the app and follow the instructions on how to get to Colorado Jefferson County Mountain area feed.
I listen all the time when I am out in the field working.
SG....call me if you need any help and I can talk you through it.

Hey Becky, I can't figure it out. Called and left a message for you.

Ok, can you give a better explanation of how to get the scanner app? Is it available on the iphone app store? I can't find anything called "radio reference"...course I may be blind!
Too bad future generations aren't here to see all the great things we are spending their $$ on!!
Well there are several ways to get info. I think the best way to go at it is to subscribe to the your choice of scanner forums.

Anytime a scanner posts you should get an email that way.
If you use radio reference you will have to listen to the info.
An amazing group of individuals who monitor all things scanner related (road conditions, fire reports, etc.) that may impact our lives. They post that information here on the website.
