I am to be in colorado springs this friday - Sunday and the weather forecast shows rain/snow for friday--I am from Texas and DO NOT know how to travel in the snow, etc. Question, is this snow the type that is going to be sticking or just flurries? Thanks.
If there's a storm coming, then you may want to take the back way into town via US 287 to US 50 west. Reason being that Raton Pass (I-25 at the NM/CO state line) gets some really bad snow and often closes or, at the least, gets chain restrictions, when a storm comes through.
It doesn't look like it's going to be that bad though. CO Springs is only supposed to get down to 31 on Friday and the snow levels are only supposed to be high in the upper elevations. If you're really worried about, pick up a set of tire chains. You may not need them, but you'll always have them in case you ever do.

I love this town. Everyone is nice easy to get aroudn in. Lots of things to see and do. If you want to make a vacation of it I would suggest going up to Yellowstone National Park and making it a two stop vacation and well worth the trip. JKR
William Seymour was the first person of African descent to serve on a jury in the El Paso County Courthouse and a founding member of St. John’s Baptist Church; the first black Baptist Church built in the Colorado Springs’ area.
The sculpture was designed by New Mexico artist, Stephanie Huerta.
About a half hour west of Colorado Springs is this National Monument. Start off at the visitor center to see a number of specimans that were found within the monument. From there, take one or two of the trails out into the monument itself. Bring water along on hot days! Depending on which trail you pick, you'll see some of the fossil tree stumps or areas where the original fossil digs were performed. Many signs throughout the park warning about not searching for your own fossils - if you must, there are privately owned digs that surround the monument. Cost is a mere $2 to get into the park, and hiking through the mountains is worth this price of admission alone.
One of the best hikes I've had was in North Cheyenne Canyon. Granted it was off the beaten path, literally, but alert people like myself can do that withour risking much damage to the surrounding area. It was really cool. Also, I've hiked and biked around the Garden of the Gods area which is cool. There are lots of tourists by the rocks, but if you get away some, it gets better, and prettier.
Nancy and I met a Colorado Springs family while enroute to that city. We asked the daughters what their favorite Mexican restaurant was in the Springs. They all agreed - Tres Margaritas. There are three locations, but they said the best one was on North Academy Boulevard.
We were joined at this restaurant by the husband and son of my wife's recently deceased cousin, and enjoyed a fine meal with very good service and a nice atmosphere. Chicken molé. First time I had ever had this spicy sweet dish. It was marvelous.
