The climate here is extremely hot and dry in the summer months. It is comfortably cool and dry in the winter. Spring is the best time of year and the only time that we get moisture, and that's when we get our heavy snowfalls as well. Fall is the worst time of year and is refered to as "wildfire season" due to the amount of forest fires.
Colorado is a semi arid desert. This hits home with forest fires, water restrictions, forty or more days with temperatures soaring well past the 90's.
Driving in the Denver Metro area, which includes cities like Lakewood, Golden, Arvada, and a host of others is an excercise in frustration. Roadrage is rampant and deadly. The roads are crowded and people are rude.
The cost of energy goes up several times a year increasing heating/cooling bills. The service does not get better with the cost increase and blackouts and shortages are fairly common.
Overall, I'd recommend moving somewhere else.
