Let's battle the two climates with recent threads debating their perception.
Let's see how lopsided this one is:
A) Glasgow: a cloudy, maritime "safe" climate that's cool year round but lacks in extremes and never sees any real warmth, not even the odd heat wave that San Francisco gets occasionally in fall. Most winter nights stay above freezing and snow accumulation is infrequent and short lived when it happens. Thunderstorms are very rare.
B) Denver: a very sunny climate with very cold winter nights but daytime highs usually above freezing. Can get some sharp cold snaps or strong blizzards but your typical January day is 45/20 and sunny with calm winds. Summers have short-lived afternoon thunderstorms a few times a week despite low humidity with warm days and cool nights as the norm.
Glasgow... Denver is too unpredictable and bipolar for my liking. I much prefer the stability of Glasgow. Having snowstorms in months like April and even May in Denver is completely unacceptable IMO

No month is acceptable in Glasgow; I pick Denver easily because of all that sunshine and the fact that those extreme events in Denver are short lived. I'd think even in January, about 60-70 percent of days in Denver would see a high warmer than Glasgow; the extreme events skew the average down.

I don't care how short lived they are. The fact of the matter is they happen every year and that's not acceptable to me. I hate snow and ice with a passion and I'm certain that Denver gets more snow and ice every year than Glasgow even if it also gets way more sunshine.
I expect it to be rather lopsided but not as ridiculous as some of the other climate battles involving places in Antarctica or fictional climates that are literally uninhabitable without space survival gear.
Glasgow is dull and dreary but quite "safe" compared to most climates in the Eastern U.S.
A very poor poll. Both cold and heat lovers would choose Denver anyway.
Should've tried Paris (instead of Glasgow), or at least a more milder oceanic climate. You would've had equal amount of votes on both sides if that were the case...
