Well, if you want winter, you must come here, or maybe try North or South Dakota, or Michigan....

It sounds like I might not mind your winter too much...

The dryness of the Coloradan air allows for much broader temp swings.
The winds wind either warm or cool the area depending if they are up or down slope.
You are also substantially south of where we are.
We just have to turn you into a ski bum patty.

I was thinking about Co springs which is inline with DC, Patty is about equal to Trenton, NJ,
That is till 150 miles. In terms of winter weather that's still a lot.
Altitude = colder and dryer,
proximity to the Atlantic and effectively unlimited moisture, massive.

^Elevation according to my Garmin GPS in my driveway is 5,314 feet. I'm a little higher than the town of Loveland, Colorado.
