I bought a house in the foothills in 1990. I remember getting 8' of snow in 3 days. I remember cycling in shorts in February. I remember snow that came in October and left in April. I remember no snow in Denver and great skiing in the mountains, all winter long. Driving in snow is one issue, but I've seen plenty of cars on fire on the side of I70 heading west into the mountains.

I lived in Denver in 2006. I had an apartment on Broadway and 6th. I paid $600 dollars a month for rent. I remember that Denver had 300 days of sunshine a year. I was actually bummed out at how little it snowed, like seriously snowed. It was the best city I've ever lived in though. Denver is amazing. You can get everything you want from a major city, to include 3 major league sports teams, and drive thirty minutes out of the city and be in the rural America. I would highly recommend moving there. I'd be living there now if I could afford to move back to America.

This video actually made me feel a little better about the weather from Western Oregon. You are soaking wet cold all winter here. It rains 225 days a year.

The weather tends to get over-exaggerated here both good and bad. Very frustrating at times. Every winter is different. Sometimes it snows in early fall, sometimes late in the spring. The sun warms things up, but it gets very cold at night. You get huge drops in temps in a few hours.

I’ve lived here all my life. Everything you said is spot on. Good Video

As a Native the best way to describe Denver weather is bipolar. Huge temperature shifts are common here, sometimes 70 degree temperature swings. Denver averages snow from September to May, so expect to see snow 9 months out of the year. In my 34 years here i've only seen snow in September once. Below zero nights happen on average a few nights a season but anything over 3 days below zero at night is uncommon. Denver averages 50 inches of snow annually (since 2000), it does melt fast but it snows more than any other large city in America with places like Minneapolis and Salt Lake close if not the same in terms of snowfall. I've seen it in the mid 70's on Christmas in Denver and i've seen it under -20 in January. We get "Chinook " winds that even in Winter can push the temperature well over 60 degrees. If you like flowers and enjoy a longer grow season the Denver area is not for you, because we can get snow and freezing temperatures anywhere from September to May it makes planting flowers here really difficult. All in all I'd actually say Denver has one of if not the worst climates of any large metro in the US.

Also where can I find a hotel that is not downtown but has good access to places like bounter, golden and is in a safe area ?
Love your videos ! Thank you

You're not misremembering your childhood - no politics - but climate change is real, it's clearly evident, and winters are specifically where climate change is affecting weather the most for now.

I'm thinking about staying in a Denver hotel and taking tour excursions to Breckenridge, Rocky Mountain National Park, Pikes Peak, etc. during the Christmas season. Will there be a good chance of me seeing snow that way? I love seeing snow during the holidays.

Im moving to Denver next weekend, im excited to experience winter especially since im coming from Houston Txs.

[blackbette]

I wanted to know about snow because I am a native Floridian. I lived in Reno, Nevada for awhile and wonder if Denver was kind of similar. Not much of a fan of snow but, can endure it.

A white Christmas is really rare in Colorado.

I'm from south texas so I'm used to 9 months of humidity summer. Had only seen snow a couple times in my life. Weather in the 30s is frigid cold to us. Since living in denver i just experienced denver winter for the first time. It wasn't anywhere near as bad as I thought it was going to be. There are sporadic days where it gets frigid cold but what I have come to learn is that sooner or later the sun will shine and when it does it doesn't feel that cold. I'm guessing it's the altitude but it can be 35 degrees and if it's clear and sunny ill be in a t-shirt. If it's 35 in texas I'm in a big jacket. I've been in pacific nw winter as well and it rains from the beginning of October all the way to June. Dark, gloomy and rainy. Denver isn't like that. The sun is abundant all year round

Planning to visit Co within 6 months to scope it out for a possible move. The weather has been my biggest concern so this makes me feel better. Would you say this video holds true for Colorado Springs as well or is it bit less snowy down there?

[MarcosPaiva-ki]

I bought a ticket for me and my wife for January 28th for her birthday as I'm from Florida I'm worried about driving. I want to go from Denver to Breckenridge but I don't know if I can drive a 2WD car at this time of the year

[billbirkett]

If I get too high and forget where I am in Denver, will I potentially freeze to death?

[jluck]

Where’s the rest of the city??? Denver is so tiny

[leonblue]
