workers at the denver zoo thought they saw a man climbing out of one of the animal which is a member of the raccoon family. they have a description of the man, but no one tried to really find him. the animals are all accounted for and seem to be fine, just a bit unusual. we're not in the business of telling anybody how to vote, but the coloradan who wrote in bill belichick for president has some explaining to do. that write-in vote was found today as denver processed ballots cast on election day. i'm just going to hope somebody panicked and couldn't decide and wrote in the first name

otherwise that's just wrong. the bill belichick write-in does not count because write-in candidates with colorado must preregister with the state. tonight was the second chance to see the supermoon. there have been several this year. this one is different because the moon is closer to earth than it's been since 1948. it's 30% brighter and 14% larger. here in denver we're a mile closer. the moon will not be this again until 2034. thanks to everyone who has sent in some pretty incredible pictures of the supermoon the past two nights. it will seem brighter and larger the next few nights as it slowly wanes. for tips how to take the best pictures, we don't give lessons in creativity. you don't need help. we have tips on the 9news facebook page. a beautiful night in downtown denver and you can

continue to stream in. we've got that big beautiful moon as seen by ski sunlight. many of the resorts are awaiting the snow, areas like purgatory, beautiful full moon pictures this evening. they're making snow fast and furious at areas like breckenridge. so this system coming from the gulf of alaska will be welcome bringing snow to the northern rockies as early as wednesday morning, into the northern mountains of colorado early thursday morning. be a scattered rain event, but enough cold air following through we may see rain briefly mix with snow. none of the models have over an inch of accumulation for the city and some of that will fall as rain, simply too warm at the surface for accumulating snow to stick around long. it's a fast moving system moving onshore, high and midlevel cloud deck continuing to stream in, but high pressure is keeping a lot of the moisture to the north of us.

billings. this high pressure system takes intact for two days before it breaks down pulling cold air to the north. we're seeing the leading edge of the cool air in the northwest tomorrow, but our high 25 degrees above average for this time of year. tuesday and wednesday is record territory. skies clearing tonight, a few foothill clouds, maybe a little mountain wave cloud in the morning. decent travel across the higher train and the i-25 -- higher terrain and i-25 corridor. alamosa, the low this mornin temperature and 40s for many locales across the front range and urban corridor. look at the high temperatures we're forecasting for tomorrow. this is november, very unusual, but again some changes in the pattern, major changes, and a good travel day tomorrow and wednesday. tonight fair skies, 41 degrees, sunrise at 6:44, mid-60s by

winds shouldn't be as big of a player, but on wednesday, the warmest day of the week it will be windy. thursday rain possibly mixing with snow, out of here friday. friday is windy and cool ahead of a nice warming trend timed well for thanksgiving holiday travelers next week. our best shot at much needed precipitation is in the next 24 to 36 hours. great shot out of silveror in wonderfully creative pictures of that glorious full moon. >> we're all making noises, oh, thanks, kathy. the warm temperatures this month may have made it a little harder to get into the holiday spirit. as 9news reporter dan grossman shows us, it has made it especially hard on those prepping denver's skating rink set to open next week. >> reporter: the word normal

definition. i have another. >> yeah. it's just like spring skiing. >> reporter: but i think we can agree the conditions brea olson has dealt with don't fall under either definition. >> we're coming to work without coats on. >> reporter: she and her crew have worked on prepping the southwest rink at skyline park the past few days, not the easiest task for ice masters like ryan dempsey. >> i've only night, but we'll do it the next four or five days, longer, if needed. >> reporter: typically ice rinks require three or four days of sub36-degree weather, a tall order considering our recent weather patterns. >> luckily we have a great cooling system to keep the ice very cold. >> reporter: bingo. the crews use tubed glycol to keep the ice temperature hovering just above 35 degrees during the day, the same chemical we use in our

they spray and freeze enough water to make 4 inches of thick solid ice. >> we're getting into that holiday spirit whether mother nature comes with us or not. >> reporter: consider it a life lack of sorts. >> no worry, we'll be open november 22nd at 11 a.m. you need to bring your ice skates, not your snorkel. >> reporter: in denver dan grossman, 9news. >> it is free.

from colorado's sports leader here's sip of . >> hi, everybody. a -- here's drew soicher. >> hi, everybody. a crick in the neck is both painfully and perfectly legal it turns out. after reviewing the tape the nfl has determined the clever

new orleans saints is within the rules. it's apparently fine to hold a man's head down like you're drowning him in the community pool so your teammate can leapfrog him and block a kick. jared knew all along that was okay. >> i don't see why not. it wasn't like we yanked him down or had his facemask or anything. what we did, we put our hands on him, make sure he doesn't get up, but as far as i know, it's legal and if it isn't, they didn't call it. >> he still hasn't gotten up. if pro football hall of famer joseph william namath was nicknamed joe willy white shoes then will barks is simply white shoes. he insists they make his feet look faster, but now he knows there's another benefit. they blend in perfectly with the white sidelines on the football field making it nearly impossible to determine if he stepped out of bounds or not.

right there. i seen it from plenty of different angles. i wanted to see just to be truthful for myself. the only people saying i'm out was watching from the front, but i got a real close picture of me and my foot and my head was actually up. so they see the white cleat blending in with the sideline which is also good. i don't care. we got the w. that's what i'm worried about. they made the correct call. >> will parks wearing shop glass goggles. broncos have the week f, a good time to reflect upon their season at this point which is precisely what 9news broncos insider mike klis does on the pages of his notebook. >> reporter: as the broncos rest here in week 11, they should be pleased, not satisfied but pleased. why? because they are 7-3 with a quarterback who four months ago was a virtual unknown. make no mistake. trevor siemian has been this team's most pleasant surprise through 10 games. then again siemian has

expectations. how can you expect something from someone you don't know? the biggest concern for the broncos after 10 games, though, keeping siemian healthy. he is a gutsy quarterback, but goodness. there has to be a way for him to not take so many vicious hits. >> and will be hit and slammed to the turf. >> the reason he does make a lot of plays, because he will sit in there and get hit right in the mouth and make a play. that is a great characteristic of a quarterback because you have to do that me is bad in the shotgun. it's something we've got to work on. when it's good, he's stepping up. sometimes he's drifting and getting hit when he shouldn't get hit. that's something we're addressing. >> reporter: siemian got an injection in his sore left shoulder this morning. he's taken the shot weekly since he first suffered the injury in game four. kubiak said if the broncos had a game today, siemian would have been too sore to play. then again, the broncos didn't play today and they won't play

just days before the major league soccer championships begin rapids tim holler was diagnosed with a groin injury and is out the rest of the season. derek white led the buffs with 15 points. colorado wins. in athens greece bosnian between the legs of another player and pulled his shorts down. i ceylon done, i see france, i -- i see london, i see france, i see papa's underpants in the still of the night. that was dangerously close to one of those supermoons kathy has been talking about. >> stop it.
