I'm considering moving to Austin from the comfort of the mountains of Colorado, which is huge for me, and need a serious kick in the pants. I'm afraid that because it is winter that it will be aesthetically depressing and that in addition may be quite flat for me. I think, however, that in many other regards it is probably great. Help!

Austin is not flat. That is what most people believe. If you move here, get ready for the heat and the allergies. Oh and you'll have to go back to cooking your rice a roni according to the regular altitude directions, ha!

We just moved here from the mountains of Utah. I do miss the montrousness of the mountains. Plus I always knew which direction I was headed. But Utah was pretty dry and brown, especially in winter. (I don't know about Colorado, but because Utah is so sunny, the snow melts away a lot of the time unless you're about 6000 ft. We were only at 4500.) To us Texas seems so green, even in the winter when a lot of the grass is dormant. Most of the trees here keep their leaves most of the year round, it seems.
But I'm beyond thrilled that I got to leave my snow shovel behind. When I called my sister in Park City on Thanksgiving morning she told me that it was 10 degrees. I am so happy to leave that all behind. You won't believe how much you won't miss it. Well, at least I don't. Talk to me next summer and I may be pretty miserable. But right now I think this weather is just wonderful.

Humidity = green grass / tree due to moisture. Since I left Colorado to Texas, lotion was never purchased again. However - sunscreen/block is a must
