I was already remote, but I’m moving from Seattle to Denver. Combination of family and a more favorable climate. The somewhat lower cost of living doesn’t hurt

I was already remote, but I’m moving from Seattle to Denver.
Combination of family and a more favorable climate. The somewhat lower cost of living doesn’t hurt, but it’s not like Denver is cheap.
- AnimalMuppet 6y agoWhat 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.)
- doktorhladnjak 6y agoDenver gets a lot more sun
- monocasa 6y agoDenver only has 30 to 40 days a year without at least partial sun.
- trngmchn 6y ago300ish days of sunshine a year in Denver versus about half that in Seattle.
- lawnchair_larry 6y agoAnd cold as hell winter 5 months of the year.
- pcmoney 6y agoYes its freezing and icy for 7 months actually.
- monocasa 6y agoI'd take 20F in Colorado over 50F on the east coast anyday. The dry air insulates amazingly.
- cjenkins 6y agoI'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.
- pcmoney 6y agoDude, no. Its always miserable. I have lived in CO for over 30 years and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Worst place ever.
- pcmoney 6y agoNo East coast is better. If you want dry, check out Arizona or New Mexico.
- maximp 6y agoI 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.
- enraged_camel 6y agoCold is okay as long as you're prepared for it. Wet is annoying even if you're prepared for it.
- inson 6y agoThe best summer in north west is in Seattle.
- Linuturk 6y agoI'm actually picking between Seattle and Denver. What about the climate is better between the two?
