My mistake. It was Enjoyingthesun who said that. Having come to the Denver area from Champaign, IL, where the standard summer weather forecast is "Hazy, hot and humid", I like the dry. It's still hot in the summer, even with the dryness, especially in full sun.
I honestly prefer the dry summer my self, but every time when I visit Colorado in the winter I get bloody nose. not really the best feeling or something to brag about
two things:
1. "I wonder if Raleigh and surroundings will become too "small"..."No. Raleigh is growing as fast as your children.
2. if you visit Raleigh this week or next, and experience the pollen, and you still like it....then Raleigh is the choice.
in fact, that is what i recommend to people who want to move to the the Raleigh "area".
visit during the pollen season, and/or during the Dog Days of Summer.
those are the reliable extremes of weather. yes, hurricanes, tornadoes, etc. happen,
but not on a dependable schedule.

That is a right approach. And we follow it. Cannot visit now, during the pollen season, but will be there at July/August when it's hot and humid. I pretty much sure that I have an allergies during the pollen season. So that is known issue.
How is the situation with the allergies in Denver btw?

I don't have any. Anecdotally, from what others tell me, spring is worst.

My comment was really about the traffic trying to get up I-70 to the mountains or the routes to RMNP. I wasn't trying to comment on the park situation in Denver. Like many major metro areas (including R-D), I think Denver has done a good job of carving out space for recreation. The cycling scene is good, and places like Red Rocks are excellent.
Hilarious. So, some of us belong in CO and some in NC. That's what I learned from this thread. I turned down 2 jobs in Raleigh last year. I liked the area, but the opportunities weren't good enough to bring me back east. I probably couldn't handle the weather anyway. I fled VA for CO and I can't tolerate humidity after living in the cool/cold thin air at 7000 feet.

With regard to allergies, it depends on what you're allergic to.
For me, personally, allergies here are nearly non-existent. I have a few weeks in the spring where I'm mildly miserable, and a few weeks in the late summer/early fall (when sagebrush blooms) when I'm a little more miserable, but Claritin helps immensely.
