Welcome back to Colorado!
Biking in winter here can be awesome, many sunny, 40-50 degree days. Currently, there is snow on the ground and our streets aren't plowed. Snow storms this year have been upslope storms hitting the front range rather than the mtns. By contrast last Jan and Feb were completely dry, and warm.
I heard on the radio yesterday that Boulder and Boulder county are one of the best places in the country to find jobs right now.
