My family is considering moving there and I was wondering how severe their winter was. We are from southern California so any information would be helpful. By the way, Florissant is by Canyon Springs, Colorado.

Actually it's west of Colorado Springs ..about 1 1/2 hours away. This is not like Southern California ... there are times in the winter when there is SNOW a few times during the winter ... you will need to get used to driving in it or stay home when it snows. It's not very bad .. it's a good idea to get snow tires with studs for winter driving ... Usually when it snows it will melt within a few days and then it will be cold but nice weather.... I's pretty brisk in the winter ... kind of like Big Bear or Lake Arrowhead area in the winter...
