Climate:
I would say the climate here in Colorado is perfection. There are many different climates in Colorado due to the Rocky Mountains and elevation changes as a result of the mountains. It is usually 90-100 degrees in the summer (June-August), but it is a dry heat. In the fall (my favorite) it is hot/warm sun and cool air. September averages in the 70s, October in the 60s and November in the 50s. It can get below zero, but it usually doesn't stay that cold. The coldest months are December and January. The climate in Colorado is dry, so the same temperature won't feel as cold as say Chicago or Boston where the climates are more wet.
Activities:
Cold weather: Snowboarding, skiing, ice fishing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, ice climbing, sledding. In the mountains, there is snow for much of the winter. On the Front Range where most major cities in Colorado are located, it is not uncommon to have snow but it usually melts quickly. It is also not uncommon to have days in the winter that are 50-60 degrees and it's almost always sunny in Colorado.
Warm weather: Camping, fishing, rock climbing, tubing, concerts at Red Rocks or other outdoor venues, hiking, wine tours (Western Colorado), site seeing, bicycle riding, disc golf or just driving around to see landmarks.

How do you change starter on 2005 Colorado?
Disconnect the battery negative terminal, block off the wheels, jack the vehicle up from the front end and set it on jackstands. Get underneath the vehicle. The starter should be on the right side of the bell housing. You simply unbolt it, disconnect the wires, then reverse those steps when installing the new one. Pretty simple procedure, all in all. If in doubt, the Chilton and Haynes service manuals they sell at auto parts stores get pretty detailed on how to do this. Don't be afraid to buy one.
