Brits in the USA

The average winter snowfall is around 100 inches I think but don't quote me. Last season we had snow on the ground from mid November to late April. And I don't mean a sprinkle...we were quite a few feet under by the time Christmas rolled around. The season before was pretty rough with a record snowfall of 31 inches in 24 hours. Often snow doesn't really settle until December but frosts start from the odd one in August until April! Southern VT is milder but still pretty damn cold and still loads of snow. We get a few odd crazy winters where the low temperature would be a solid -20c low for a few weeks and barely getting to -10c high. Coldest it hits is around -30c which is crazy nose icicle time. I don't mind the amount of snow, and if you dress right the cold is OK, but the ice is a nightmare. If you want 4 seasons you do get them in VT but winter in the dominant one. Spring is muddy and often wet. Summer can be beautiful but can also be wet like this year, and fall is never long enough. It just gets too cold too early for my liking!

Here is our car after the record snow. The car arial is on the left sticking out of the drift!

Wow - that is amazing!!! Doesn't that completely trash your car?!?! I think that much snow is a little beyond building snowmen

Stuart/Courtney - what is the weather/climate like where you are moving to in CO? It is one of the States that Jeremy always wanted to move to but I have never been there This is really fun finding out first hand about all the different States - there is only so much information you can get from generalised stats online

We got the odd crazy snowstorm that dumped snow like that a few times growing up...I just hate digging out of that stuff and tromping around in heavy boots. I also hate having to put on 9,000 layers of clothing to feel somewhat warm. But most of all I hate the ice, and that half of all SUV owners believe that because they own an SUV that means they can drive on any surface going 20 miles above the speedlimit.

At least I don't have to drive around or dig myself out these days. Honestly, I wonder why I'm still living in the midwest LOL...I'd prefer a milder winter!

Courtney Lives there already with her family. It really depends in Colorado where you go as to what the weather is like. We will be living to start with in Montrose Co which is on the western side of the Rockies. Nearest mountains are the San Juan's which are stunning. Montrose gets snow late October or November I believe and gets most of its Snow like most places in Jan and Feb where they can get upto 10-12". I also believe they get about 300 days of sunshine a year. perfect! Nearest ski resort is telluride about 45 minutes away. Again this place is brilliant. Denver and Salt lake City (Utah) are both about 5 hour drives away. Pheonix as well isn't too far in American Terms.

Colorado as a whole is a beautiful state for me. Lots of sports and activities and lots of gorgeous little towns with bigger cities too. Couldn't think of a better place to stay and hopefully raise a family

I'm sure wherever you guys will choose will be a great place to live. Keep us all updated where you decide.

Good luck

In Colorado everyone is so active. People are active all year long...

Have you gone white water rafting yet? There are some great places like Royal Gorge.

I'm personally a fan of the town Buena Vista. They have a great little Mexican cafe right off the main highway going through town.

But I agree...if I had to move elsewhere in the US Colorado would be my #1 choice.

not been white water rafting yet but its definitely high up on my to do list. Been 4 wheel driving up the moutains which was brilliant. Just hope I don't collapse with the altitude trying all these sports and activities

But there is no Trader Joe's in CO!! How would I cope?!

You get used to it. Actually, being in the higher altitude will make your body stronger...I had a friend from Laramie, WY (which is around 7,000 ft...so almost 1.5 miles high) who I used to jog with...she could go on forever and ever and I would get winded well before she did. I guess living up high in the mountains builds up your endurance!

Hey there! I am checking back in since we are back involved with USCIS with our I-751 and we are just checking in with everyone. I noticed a lot of UK folks in Orlando.

Yep, I was hoping to organise a meet up but I haven't gotten around to it yet. I'm about 45 minutes outside of Orlando, in Haines City.
