Posted January 13, 2019 So I debated on if I wanted to travel back to the area when its so cold. I do not much like driving in the snow let alone taking flights with possible snow storms (being at risk for cancellations) I looked at a 14 day weather report a few days said "freezing". I guess being from Northern California i am so use to the sunny days (: my last trip to town was AMAZING ! I heard Colorado is coldest jan? feb? I could be wrong. So instead of Confusing myself even more.... HOW'S THE WEATHER LOOKIN ? (: 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 13, 2019 Colorado is the 2nd sunniest state next to Florida. We have like 300 days of sunshine a year or something crazy like that. Flights rarely get canceled due to snow. That usually only happens during a major blizzard. It was 61 degrees the other day. It does get chilly, but I'm sure you can find a few fellows to keep you warm. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 13, 2019 Snow is most likely in the spring actually (March/April) and cold temps are worst in November/December. January often has high pressure and nice weather but you never know. I think your chances of flight cancellation are very low. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 13, 2019 Don't let the weather keep you away from Denver and TOB! Sure it may snow some in the city, but it rarely last, and has already been mentioned the sun comes out. Take care, and enjoy. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 13, 2019 I've been to Northern Cali to see family over xmas. I'll tell you 45 degrees there is like 60 here. I was way colder there than here. The humidity makes no Cali colder than Colorado. Besides even when it snows here it is usually sunny and melted within a day or two. Come visit, have fun. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't visited that much to KNOW EXACTLY what the weather is like lol I've checked out the weather report a week before and showed up and its NOTHING like the report. lol packed for cold weather the last visit and there was not much use for the clothing I packed...lol since it was sunny and warm. shoot, sometimes Californias weather is unpredictable and I have lived here for years. I was just asking the ppl that are currently there to help give me a better understanding (: thank you I appreciate it, you too! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 14, 2019 Being from northern California, you should know that 50 degrees F in San Francisco can feel colder than 20 degrees F in Colorado, due to the never-ending fog and mist, so why not put more Colorado visits on your schedule 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 14, 2019 Wouldn't worry about the snow. It's the prerie dog ya gotta watch out for. These guys come at ya by the hundreds. Before ya know it, they drag ya to there den and all people see is your head sticking out of the ground and then they take turns sticking bugs up your nose. It a horrible sight. Trust me! You'll stand a better chance against the lizards. Go to Florida. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
