  1. Just so people know, if you're up in the Rockies and the sun is out, you can be pretty comfortable in pretty cold temperatures. Dad told me about playing volleyball up in Leadville when he was doing his ski training. In t-shirts. In the dead of winter. I experienced some of that, myself, in Gunnison. The thermometer says one thing, but if you're out in the sun, you're not cold. Colorado's a great state for passive solar heating of your home. It's not end-all, be-all, but when I was in Gunnison, there was never a day without SOME good sunlight. Not sure what it was. Maybe it was the rising heat over those high valleys that punched a hole in the cloud cover. But there were probably only a handful of days in the 7 years I was up there that there wasn't at least some direct sun in the afternoon. By contrast, in the Northwest, you have overcast skies for weeks at a time. I miss that about Colorado, but I don't miss the politics.
