I don't notice any stiffness due to weather changes, but when I sit for a long time, my knee still swells up and gets stiff. My doctor told me the entire year of my recovery that my knee would get swollen for a long time. At the one year anniversary of my surgery, I was officially released by the doctor and he said that my knee might always get swollen.
For the most part, though, it feels fairly decent. It took me a good year and a half before I could go up and down steps reasonably. I bought a stability ball to use at home during my recovery and used that a ton during the first 6-9 months of my recovery, but steps were still a major issue for me.
