I lived in Colorado Springs for 7 1/2 years. Brown grass and dead looking trees. The dirt that mixes with the snow on the roads. The dry air that gives you cracked, bleeding knuckles, and thick phlegm in your throat. I liked the winters in California so much better. Lows in the mid to low 30's, chilly with some frost on lawns and on the windshields. Some fog and walking outside you could see your breath when you breathed out. Biking in the winter and going outside on walks was possible every day.

oh my gosh, spend a few years in northern Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin. everything you listed as a negative, would actually be a positive for me.
Same, coming from Minnesota

Nothing you said seems sucky at all. It gets cold? Well yeah it's Colorado. Living down south I only wish we had long cold winters.
Low humidity is my thing living in south most my life some of it in vegas soon to be colorado springs
Please winter is fine here, go to Alaska. Or live in Florida in the summer, then you will know what sucks.
I love the winter there
What months are the coldest? And what months do you get snow
They say December is the coldest however March tends to get the most snow!
How long does winter last there?
We expect snow til mother's day... but today is almost 70 degrees! It varies wildly. usually the first snow comes in October
Lived in Leadville for 48 hours and I had to leave. COLORADO SUCKS!!!
