Leasmom--when we lived in Colorado Springs it was COLD. We had the 10 inches of snow while we were in the hotel then the next winter we had a blizzard on the north end of town. Ft. Carson on the south end got a couple of inches at best. WEIRD! We were in District 11 school and they have (had anyway) a policy that allowed the parents to keep kids home on incelment weather days. If a parent called them in then the lost day was NOT counted against them. I called my kids in a couple of times. Once while in the hotel on the other end of town and once when the wind chill was several degrees below zero. My middle dd had had pneumonia 3 times since she was a baby and we did NOT want a repeat with her standing on a cold corner waiting for a bus. (I worked at the hospital so not home to take them).
I don't know about now but when we lived in the Springs it got BITTER cold. The closer you got to Monument and Denver the colder it got. I do recall Pueblo, being south was not nearly as cold but it DID get cold. Summers were marvelous though.
