Snow-white Denver 60 inches per winter, Dallas less than 2 inches per winter
Blizzards-Denver several per year, Dallas 1 every 10 years+

Winner Dallas

I admitted that Summer is better in Denver, but for the whole year, Dallas is better
You bring that up like its constantly that cold. Its far from it. Sure there is the chance of those types of lows for 5 1/2 months, but they never last that long. Even in the dead of the 3 month winter, we can still get 60-70* days.

Definitely not true.

Please no. This is not another DFW v. Houston thread. They are entirely comparable areas - the 4th and the 6th largest MSAs respectively. They are both a tier above Denver - the 19th largest MSA...

Yes. You're right and I'm going to delete my post because of that fact.

I didn't make it a Houston thread. I was just saying Dallas is in the same state as many other big cities which gives Denver an advantage. Houston was my example. By the way Tiers don't make cities better. Yes they are bigger then Denver but that's not the debate here. We are talking about the better city..which clearly Denver is.

I will say this. Houston is more independent than Dallas. But other than that they are very comparable to each other as the poster above me stated.

I think of Houston and Dallas as roughly the same size, along with Miami and Atlanta.

Fair enough but to get back on topic, Denver is far more disirable, then both cities

I had a friend visit from Denver and they said they liked Dallas because a lot of the areas in Central Dallas because it reminded them of Denver in a lot of ways.
