KC or Denver? Where Would You Rather Live?

[Donger]

And why? I'd appreciate most the opinions of those who've lived in both locations.

Thanks.

Oddly, I'd take Denver's climate over KC's any day.

The humidity of the KC area is pretty rough. That's why I really prefer where I am at. It gets pretty warm here and you have to dodge tornadoes but you don't have to take 3 showers a day like in Mo on a summer day.

Denver is way too cold for way too much of the year. KC is too hot and humid. I'll take Oklahoma.

Pass on Denver. I would rather not be entombed by snow every year, or only have two hours of daylight during the winter.

Actually, Denver is usually warmer during the winter months than KC is. And, it sure feels warmer due to the lack of moisture.

Kansas offers a more complete range of sunsets. Denver sunsets suck because you only get half a sunset.

At least Denver's Gay Community is proud-they always have Blue and Orange on.

I'll admit, having 62 inches of snow fall in the last three weeks has shaken me up a little.

Exactly, people think its cold here because they think of the snow-capped mountains or winter storms, but once you live here you realize its a much more moderate climate than KC. Colorarado beats the **** out of KC for weather.

Summer time - while it may get into the 90's from time to time, it's not as humid and you can live without AC (I do anyway) plus the 30 degree temp drop each night helps a ton for keeping the house cool with an attic fan.

Winter - higher daily high temps plus tons of sunshine and low humidity makes winter quite a bit more mild. I've only lived here for 2 years now, but winter in KC is quite a bit harsher and colder.

Spring and Fall - Its warmer, plus the low rainfall amounts mean you have pleasant sunny weather most of the time. If you want to be outdoors a lot enjoying the weather this is much better than KC. I find it's a lot easier to hike, bike, run etc here because you can generally count on good weather.

Now it's not exactly San Diego in terms of being 75 year round, but this is great weather with rarely and overcast day, and you still get to experience all of the seasons.

Sure beats Kansas doesn't it? Where I was at in Kansas, it didn't matter which way the wind blew, we could smell it.

KC has 2-4 weeks of great weather every year. The rest of the time its either too hot, too cold, or raining. The only things I miss weather wise are huge vast sunsets and the massive thunderstorms you can watch spreading out across the plains.
