Please don't hate me Ducky but I miss Colorado. We lived there for 8 years (94-2002) and we loved it there. Driving in the snow wasn't a lot of fun, but if you could stay home it was so serene and peaceful watching the snow fall.
Call us crazy...we might come back if my husband can ever retire. :-D
As winters go, at least you are in CO. You have more days of sunshine there than in So. CA!!!
