If they tried Colorado they’d change their mind quick. I always thought I’d end up in the valley, but after ten years here and seeing how bad the Bay Area has gotten, there isn’t enough money to convince me to make the switch.
- jarjoura 8y agoTrue, Colorado has some gorgeous backdrops, but then again, you'd also have to be into 1/2 a year of intense snowy winters.
- hesdeadjim 8y agoActually we really don't get that much snow. In Boulder January and February are cold and snow can stick around for a week or two. But no joke, it can be sunny and 60 a day after a snowstorm. Now go up into the mountains instead of the foothills, yea, you're gonna get that winter you're talking about.
- d1zzy 8y agoIt's highly subjective, I personally cannot stand temperatures below 15C or so, it's "painful" (yes, I'm a wuss). I haven't lived in Colorado but I did live in Europe and recently looked at the climate/temperature tables of Boulder to compare to Bay Area. It rather seems to me that it has weather similar to where I lived in Europe (hot summers, cold winters) with a large variation of daytime/nighttime temperature and a bit drier climate (in Boulder at least) because of the nearby mountains. All in all, lots of days in Boulder where temperature average would be <15C so not that good.
- noir_lord 8y agoI don't like anything over 15C, at 20C I'm uncomfortable, at 25C I'm miserable and at 30C I just want to crawl into a (cool) dark hole and die. Funny how different people are.
