The winters in Colorado are dry with wind-blown snow while the weather alternates between freezing temperatures and warm sunny days. Summers are nice and warm during the day but thunderstorms are always a threat. Precipitation slowly increases as you move east into Kansas and Nebraska. Colorado has the best climate for both skiing and surfing with dry, snowy winters and refreshing springs and summers with abundant sunlight, though there can be occasional thunderstorms and hail with changing weather. Other than some cloudy days, Colorado is considered the perfect state.
