Seemingly random weather for some can be annoying. When one day’s high is 78 degrees and two days later it snows, or a hail storm suddenly blows through, or 40 mph wind gusts, the advice “carry a swimsuit in one pocket and a jacket in the other” makes perfect sense.
Winters, thought by many to be brutal, are actually fairly mild. Although consistently summer days that exceed 70 degrees only occurs in about 4 months of the year, and there are 7-8 months where snow could fall (late October to mid-May), mostly there are just 3-4 months of actual cold weather, and with skiing, snowshoeing, and other fun winter activities to enjoy, it really isn’t a negative at all!
The “natives” don’t like folks moving to Colorado. OK, sure there are some of those people a bit overly proud that they’ve lived in this great state all their life, and who can blame them; but for the most part, people here are friendly and welcoming. In fact, it’s getting pretty hard to find folks who didn’t relocate to Colorado themselves.
