[quote=clearfund]It was all of the above. With small kids, we wanted a smaller town life for them to grow up in vs. the So CA pace of life.
Have never felt so unstressed in life. Last week we had a 9″ snowstorm on Wednesday, and today it was was warm sunny and the snow is 90% gone. Have never seen the kids so happy playing in the yard/snow for 4 hours/day.
The fact that apples to apples housing (schools, neighbors, etc) is apx <50% of the comparable SD housing it awesome. More college fund savings![/quote]
I spent a lot of time commuting back and forth to Ft. Collins when my brother was sick. He had a gorgeous house near the foothills - north of the stadium off of Overland. I can understand the appeal of Ft. Collins.
But man - the weather is volatile. I never knew what to expect that fall. But the mountains were gorgeous.

Freak…Christmas is approaching and it was 80 a couple days ago up here. I can’t get in the christmas spirit without some frigid temps…

Maybe it’s not so much about durability but about what kind of weather you want/like. I like to snowboard, but I don’t want to go to work in the snow. I like the fact that I don’t need winter clothes and summer clothes. Year round, I don’t need to think about what to wear, I just need to pick what kind of jacket (if any) I put on top of my t-shirt and jeans when I go to work. I love it when I see my friends on FB in the east coast complain how cold it is or snowstorms while I sit in my 80 degrees weather watching the waves during Christmas. I have no problem getting into the Christmas mood in 80 degrees weather, but maybe that’s because I grew up here. I also HATE humidity. To some, SoCal weather might be boring but for me, it’s predictable and I like predictability. -
