In Colorado, we design Halloween costumes around long johns and heavy coats, seasonal fashion statements around woolen socks and winter boots, and hairstyles that fit nicely under a stocking cap. All year long, our cars have ski racks on the roof, bike racks on the back, and closets full of clothes for every season … because we can see every season in one day. Like any good novel, the weather here has its own absurd and mesmerizing character development: loved, respected, hated, and even cursed, we rarely allow her mood swings deter us from enjoying her beauty and fresh air.
