I saw someone else recommend Google Street View - but you could also go to some sites find someone who lives in the area that you are using for the background and ask. Most people would be willing to help with a description of their home town.

You could also go to the public sites for the towns / cities and take a look through their pictures - see if there is a chat available to talk to some of the locals.

Most to the time when you are writing a scene the writer is allowed to take "literary liberties" it's like some movies do, they don't always stick to the book they are turning into a movie.

Colorado in March - unless it is an unusually warm time it's still pretty cold (from what I've seen on the weather channel and reading from others) the weather channel might even have past records on file of what the weather was like ...
Cambridge smell like - possibly manure and fields (horse and buggy time) I am just guessing here.
