I'd take 20F in Colorado over 50F on the east coast anyday. The dry air insulates amazingly.
I'll second that. The lack of humidity really helps keep things comfortable outside when it is cold. That specific heat of water is killer in a Midwest winter. Low humidity is also why we get the really powdery snow that is great for skiing.
Dude, no. Its always miserable. I have lived in CO for over 30 years and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Worst place ever.
