Weather seems more extreme than you'd think

I love Colorado Springs! I moved here in January 1968 and now in 2012 I'm 61 and getting ready to retire. Back then the summers were mild, breezy and maybe three weeks in the summer that were really hot, when AC would have been nice. Now you better have it or it is sweltering inside!Temps are over 100 several days during the July-Aug months and it is really uncomfortable. On the other end of the spectrum, the winters can be bitter cold and windy. Not too many days of icy roads but the cold wind can be miserable. Usually one or two snowstorms at best! The winters are just sooo long. They can last from mid-late October, til April.
I'm tossing around the idea of moving somewhere else when I retire next April, but don't know where that would be. I don't like extreme dry heat, don't like extreme cold. Any suggestions?
