And you wont hear any b__ing or moaning about temps being under 40 there like the East coast.

There's about 3 feet of snow at Tuck's:

I live in Denver and really don't care for this snow... or the cold behind it. Our average high today is 45 (I'm betting most people not familiar w/Denver would guess our averages this time of year are much colder) and we've had many days in the 50s and 60s in January. But the cold here is dry, so it feels better than the humid cold back East.

That would be really refreshing to not hear people whine and whine about any sort of winter weather, drowning out any sort of snow lovers' accolades. Of course there are winter-haters everywhere (Denver included), but I imagine some areas are worse than others. The East Coast seems to be particularly egregious in this area.
