First you must understand that mountain towns in Colorado are small. We still have just one traffic light in town. But that counts when you are looking for green and red lights. Then there are the lighted swags across the highway at each end of town. They have white lights, but there are red and green decorations on them. Lots of the locals decorate business fronts with white lights and then are other town decorations along Main Street. It really is very pretty at night.
Then there is the no-show snow. Here in the Rockies at 8000, we don't have any on the valley floor right now. Being surrounded by high peaks, snow mainly falls on the outside of the valley in places like Aspen, Copper Mountain, Breckenridge, Keystone...you get the picture. And so as we head for the holidays we have the high white peaks, sticking up over a mile above the valley floor, and the lights, including the traffic light, and nothing to shovel! Come enjoy winter with us!
