America’s Worst Winter Weather Cities – Forbes.com
For those bracing for a snowstorm, it can be useful to remember that other cities more often have it worse than your own. Those likely include Detroit, which each year gets an average of 41 inches of snow; Minneapolis, with an annual average temperature of 45 degrees; and rainy New York City. Its residents deal with just under 50 inches of rain a year.
The Colorado Springs real estate area woke this morning to a bit of snow. And I am comforted by the fact that most of the snow will probably melt tomorrow. I’m afraid it will be quite awhile before the D.C. area can say the same. They’ve received a ton of snow in the past few days, with more on the way. But D.C. lacks southern Colorado’s temperature shifts, so the snow will probably stick around for more than a couple of days. Snow in Colorado Springs is fantastic. It generally comes in the night, provides a beautiful landscape in the morning, and then melts in the afternoon. Perfection!
