Colorado is the shit. I'd love to raise my family out there, and was actually considering a move three or four years ago, but I've got some deep roots around here. Tough to pull out.

meh, stayed in Colorado Springs for a bit and got bored with it pretty quick...

guess it ain't for everybody...

I don't like the weather back home. Other than that there are things I miss.

The fucking clouds are brutal. I read a piece years ago that said NE Ohio and Western PA are the cloudiest parts of the country. It said that the Pacific Northwest gets more precipitation, but in terms of cloudy days vs sunny days, we've got the clouds.

Not much fun.

I can understand why you're still there. Colorado is nice though. Still have yet to have what I'd call a bad winter out here. Haven't ruled out moving back to the Vegas area someday. The summer are rough but the rest of the year the weather is great.

One man gathers what another man spills.

I love the outdoors and skiing and Colorado is amazing for that stuff. They also have four true seasons and 300 or so days of sunshine a year. That's my kind of stuff.

Yeah I really didn't pay attention to how gray & cloudy it is until I moved out West. Guess when you grow up w/ it you don't notice it as much?

Nothing like that. I don't miss all that damn snow though.

See, I don't mind that. In fact, I love it. If I lived in CO, I think I'd have to be somewhere with higher elevation so I'd get the snow.

Well, in terms of sunny vs cloudy, NE OH and CO are literally on opposite sides of that spectrum, so I could see how you'd notice that change.

The higher elevations definitely get snow. We're around 5,400. Not alotta snow yet around here.

WILL admit snow's a pain in the ass...

Never had to use tire chains. Just overnight street parking bans so plows could get the entire street.

four true seasons

I've got a few friends who tried to convince me to move to Charlotte, and I'd say that I need the seasons. They'd say, "we have seasons!" Bullshit. Their "winter" is 55 degrees. Our summer days can hit 95 or more, and 7 degrees was as warm as it got for about ten days a week ago - those are fucking seasons.

I'm with you there. I do not enjoy Houston or Dallas. I've had some absolutely great times in the middle of nowhere Texas, but I wouldn't want to live there.

Eh. Being told from the age of fifteen that you're going to be the best in the world at something, and then actually becoming the best in the world would likely tweak most people's melons. I think, all things considered, he's done a pretty good job in that regard.
Because of your recent results from 23andMe you are obligated to say this

Here is a fun fact. Said cloud clover was one of the reasons they built the Ravenna arsenal where it was
