Denver is very dry most of the year but we still have our snow.
LOL at the San Francisco summers = coldest winter. Thats true, but the average July high temp in San Francisco is still 68-degrees. So people in SF are not suffering too much in the summer. Some people might actually find 68 in SF to be kind of refreshing compared the average 88-degrees in Denver. If they like a bit cooler weather.

Anyways the "coldest summer" phenomenon is based on the sea breeze and the fog that effect many parts of the city of San Francisco. If you are in a part of the Bay Area that is protected from the sea breeze and fog (which is the majority of it), the summer high temps are actually very comparable to Denver. Probably not more then five degrees cooler then Denver.

So comparing Denver and Bay Area, I have to give it to the Bay Area for weather. Sorry Denver's weather can't compare. For most everything else including the cost of living for sure, I agree that Denver may very well be a better alternative.

OP, if you have any other questions you can email me by clicking on my name - otherwise I suspect this thread will soon be closed as no one else seems to be giving any pertinent advice.
