CO has nice weather. From what I have heard, it gets cold and snowy for a few days but then warms up to b/w 40-65* and it all melts. Is that true. But if it is true, that's only for the flat areas such as Denver and Fort Collins and Colorado Springs, not cities in the mountains like Aspen and Durango which are cold and snowy all winter long and TWC recently said that Aspen ski lifts are going to be open for Father's Day!!

of course not for the mountains, their winter nights are some of the coldest in this country, and Breckenridge averages over 300 inches of snow

It does melt pretty quick, which is nice. However, its the fact that places like Denver have an extremely long snow season. They can get snow in September and snow all the way into late May. So for 9 months of the year, you can pretty much expect to get snow. One day it will be 80 degrees, the next day 30 degrees with 8" of snow. Screw that!
Best = Miami or Los Angeles, sunny, beaches, occasional rain fall to cool it down etc.
Worst = Boston or Chicago, freezing winters and blistering hot summers
I had the pleasure of visiting friends in Phoenix at the end of June. The temperatures were between 115 and 120 the whole time I was there. Without the humidity, it felt roughly 105 degrees (give or take a few degrees). Here we get 90 to 95 degree weather with humidity, which makes it feel like, ohh, 105 degrees. I considered it a wash and moved on.
The Southwest is to oven as the Midwest is to sauna. The only difference really being I could walk around outside here in the Midwest. I dared not venture in the Southwestern sun too long.
Ummm...Charlotte is NOT the Midwest. North Carolina is in the Upper South and to be more specific the Southeast. How you think Charlotte is Midwestern is beyond me.
Well I suppose that in terms of best weather, I have a different definition of the cities with the best weather. In my opinion, cities that come closest to truly having all 4 seasons have the best and most interesting weather, whereas cities where the weather is predictable and without 4 seasons don't have the best weather. So for my pick:
Best: St. Louis: cold winters, hot summers
Worst: Miami: only one real season: summer, and at its worst brings hurricanes and tropical storms and at its worst is so blisteringly hot that it's beyond belief...absolutely relentless heat
It's raining here today, one of the 12 weather days a year
I've lived all over and I always come back here. For all the stuff that's wrong the weather is enough for me.
