You know your from Colorado when:

Colorado winter statistic:

Ninety-eight percent of Americans scream before going into a
ditch on a slippery road. The other two percent are from
Colorado, and they say, "Hold my pop and watch this."

Your not from Colorado if you say "soda"


You're from Colorado if:

It snows five inches and you don't expect school to be
canceled.

"Humid" is over 25%.

Your sense of direction is: Toward the mountains and away
from the mountains.

You say, "The Interstate," and everybody knows which one.

You think that May is a totally normal month for a blizzard
or ice storm.

You buy your flowers to set out on Mother's Day, but try and
hold off planting them until just before Father's Day.

You grew up planning your Halloween costumes around your
coat.

You know what the Continental Divide is.

You went to Casa Bonita as a kid, and again as an adult.

You've gone off-roading in a vehicle that was never intended
for such activities.

You always know the elevation of where you are.

You wake up to a beautiful 80-degree day and wonder if it's
going to snow tomorrow.

Everybody wears jeans to church.

You actually know that South Park is a real place, not just
a show on TV.

You know what a "trust fund hippy" is, and you know its
natural habitat is Boulder.

You know you're talking to a fellow Coloradoan when they
call it Elitches, not Six Flags.

A bear on your front porch doesn't bother you.

When people out East tell you they have mountains in their
state too, you just laugh.

You go anywhere else on the planet and the air feels
"sticky," and you notice the sky is no longer blue.

  1. That's awesome! I used to be a native of Colorado until I moved up here to N.W. Montana. We have similar weather here. Last year it snowed four inches on June 6th and two days later it was back to being 80 degrees. I do not miss the dryness of Colorado though. My skin and hair thank me for living here in the Flathead.
