Denver and CO Springs enjoy a fairly mild winter. I moved here in February ten years ago. I serioulsy thought that there must be another Denver in CO because it was 65 F and basically t-shirt weather. It's been pretty cold this year though.

I think the Springs may be a little more conservative than Denver. Plus, if you have access to the VA in Denver, being closer would probably be good. I use the VA here. I have very few complaints.

It gets really hot here in the summer but high altitude relief is ~ 30 minutes away. The mountains are perfect in the summer.

My vote would be Denver but I hope you have great luck no matter where you end up. :rastasmoke:

DirtayeSanchez Reviewed by DirtayeSanchez on . Thinking about Denver area vs Albuquerque NM OK, New Mexico is doing a might fine job of convincing hubby and I to move there. BUT, Colorado is running neck and neck. Hubby has ms. Can't stand the cold, can't stand the heat. Both states have medical marijuana. Jim is preferring Colorado because he'll be able to get his meds easier than NM. Too cold and Jim hurts pretty good. Too hot and he melts. But, the weather is just a small factor in our decision. Give me a few good reasons why Colorado would be a better place to live. I Rating: 5
