Anchorage. Denver looks too warm in the summer. I know the humidity is probably very low, but 88 degrees is much warmer than I prefer no matter what the humidity.

Agreed. Even with low humidity, that temperature combined with a strong sun can be uncomfortable.

Not sure if it's like this during the summer, but when I was there during the winter it was all brown. I prefer places with more trees and greenery. Of course once you go up into the mountains the environment changes.

I was in Denver in mid March and I was surprised at how brown everything was. In TN naturally most trees would lose their leaves, but a lot of smaller plants and grass would remain green. Not sure about Anchorage in that regard, though.

Anchorage's climate is my one of my A+ rated climates, so my choice wasn't hard at all.

Denver - unpredictable weather is my favorite, though it can make me sick sometimes

So yes... it can look quite summery sometimes even in the winter. 11 days before Christmas...

I don't even have to look at the stats... Anchorage, it's a A while Denver would be a B.

Denver - an exciting smorgasbord of atmospheric variety.

Denver has a neat climate. When I spent a few days there last summer, I was in the best thunderstorm I'd seen up until then. The rain was so hard it was actually starting to make it hard to breathe without getting water in my mouth.
