What about the climate in Denver is better than Seattle? Less rain, or at least rain less often? (Not saying you're wrong, I just wonder.)

The best summer in north west is in Seattle.

Lived here my whole life, don't know anyone who goes to Van for the summer. Must be a new thing?

300ish days of sunshine a year in Denver versus about half that in Seattle.

I just spent my first winter in Boulder (moved from NYC) and thought the winter was incredibly mild. All my friends and family back home kept asking how I was handling the cold, but I thought it was worlds better than slushy, frigid NYC.

Cold is okay as long as you're prepared for it. Wet is annoying even if you're prepared for it.

I'd take 20F in Colorado over 50F on the east coast anyday. The dry air insulates amazingly.

No East coast is better. If you want dry, check out Arizona or New Mexico.

I'll second that. The lack of humidity really helps keep things comfortable outside when it is cold. That specific heat of water is killer in a Midwest winter.

Low humidity is also why we get the really powdery snow that is great for skiing.

Dude, no. Its always miserable. I have lived in CO for over 30 years and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Worst place ever.

Denver only has 30 to 40 days a year without at least partial sun.
