Lol except i hadn't even joined CF yet...

Colorado was nice, and I got some good pics.

What is the climate like there?

 

[sniperviper21]

lol guess you hadnt.

but in the Spring, it rains, a decent amount. probably 8 inches or so between April-June

in the summer it can get into the upper 90's july-Sept. and get some hardcore Thunderstorms, Tornadoes are pretty rare though.
In the winter between Oct-March we can get a lot of snow, usually averages about 3 feet or so, sometimes 4-5ft in the snow belt areas. and i think the average temp then is about 20F, though at nights it easly goes into 5F, some mornings are -0F. I THINK the coldest it was when i lived at home was probably -20F or so, because i remember that day because i had to put hot water bottles on my ATV to get it started haha.
