East Coasters, your concept of Denver winter weath -
8/14/2015Before moving here from the East, I had little to no idea what Denver winters would be like. I approached it with trepidation, because a) people back East constantly said things like "hope you like snow!" and b) when we visited in October 2013, it snowed two of the nights.
But with two winters under my belt, I realize that Easterners have NO IDEA about the weather here. Does it snow? Sure! But just one of the snowstorms resulted in more than 2 days of snow on the ground. More often, winter days opened with maybe 10-20 degrees in the morning (which felt much warmer due to the low humidity and frequent strong sunshine) and 40-50 degrees by lunchtime. That NEVER happened in New York or Cincinnati before March.
So you "enjoy" your snowstorms that stay on thje ground for weeks, and your chilly January daytimes, Easterners. We'll keep on changing to light jackets at noon.
