Colorado is known for its so called “bipolar” weather year-round. We have nice warm summers that aren’t scorching hot like in other states. During the winter it gets below zero without an inch of snow or it dumps two feet over the metro area while boasting warmer temperatures the very next day. Overall, Colorado is notorious for having the coldest winters and largest snow storms in the U.S.. If you like snowboarding, skiing, and sledding down hills, there is no better place to live than here.

One morning you wake up to blue skies and sunshine and the next you wake up to 10-12 inches of snow. You have to begin your day earlier to accommodate all the new time-sucks that come with a snowstorm like cleaning off your car, letting it heat up, and leaving early in case of an accident. Your vehicle requires a lot of preparations before winter—getting snow tires, changing you oil, and making sure you have the correct antifreeze.

If you’re from out-of-state and new to Colorado, don’t be afraid to drive in the snow or in blizzard conditions. The vast majority of people, even I, have spun out on ice, lost traction, or have even been in an accident. Snow is a unique gift from Mother Nature and not all states are lucky enough to experience it like we do here in beautiful Colorado. My advice to you would be to embrace the snow, always leave at least 10 minutes early, and most importantly, have the most reliable and affordable car insurance possible. It’s important that you are covered on slippery roads during this holiday season. Many people are on the road so stay cautious, be vigilant, and most imperative of all, be safe.
