Much of COS IT work is military related. A clearance is valuable.

Monument is part of the Front Range. It abuts the foothills. Elevation is about 7000-7300 feet. Check out Google Earth to get a feel for the topography of these places.

Check out Jackson Creek, Northgate, Flying Horse, and Gleneagle subdivisions in this area. Good schools. Great place for kids. No crime. No traffic.

I posted this website so many times, I can type it in my sleep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:

Weatherbase

It has climate averages for thousands of locales around the world, including most Colorado towns. Go look it up--break a leg!

You can also go to the Western Regional Climate Center ( Western Regional Climate Center ), but their website can be find of funky to navigate.

Great site!! I checked my Google search history and that site never came up at all.

Maybe a mod should make it a sticky under "Search Colorado Weather" ??

Sorry if I upset you about this posting... my bad.

No upset here. I've wished it would be a "sticky" for quite awhile.

Based on my experience living in Gunnison, that figure is pretty much right. Days below zero (often WAY below zero)--you don't even want to think about it . . . Really nice town, just really darned cold.

If you really "want snow," there are a litany of places in upstate New York and the Northeast that get far more snow in a typical winter than do most of the places in Colorado (outside of a few ski towns) where people actually live. Or, you could move to the mountainous areas of the Cascades or Sierras and enjoy annual snow totals greater than anything Colorado could offer. Fact is, outside of the high mountain areas, Colorado is arid, and far enough south that snow doesn't stay around. You may find that some of the "weather stations" in Colorado that regularly report very high snow totals are either at ski areas or may even be unmanned Snotel stations out in the middle of nowhere in the mountains--if you bother reading the metadata that describes such stations.

In the world Thompson Pass, AK gets the most snow, but I doubt you could live there. In terms of getting snow with places that have a population, lake effect snow in the northeast. If your a rugged man, you could consider Labrador in canada, but then again you said IT work haha. In most places with population and snow, either the NE or NW, you'll be dealing with alot of rain the rest of the year as well. I can see how CO could be a compromise, but not in terms of work. Consider maybe northern Idaho?
