Don't believe it - we really don't get a whole lot of snow in Denver. The mountains do, yes, but not really the lower elevations. Sure, there are always exceptions, but for the most part, the winters are very temperate. We don't get that bitter cold that the midwest gets from Canada. And unlike the midwest, the sun shines in the winter! The winters here are AWESOME compared to the midwest. Even if it's a blizzard in the morning, by mid-afternoon the sun is shining, the snow is mostly gone, and you'd never know it snowed 6 hours earlier.
I'm not sure about the job market. I can't imagine it's that much different than anywhere else. I'm an aerospace engineer, so my industry is a pretty big one out here. Family home prices average $250,000 to $300,000, which can be hard for midwesterners to grasp. But it's definitely cheaper to live in the suburbs. I live in Lakewood, which is the next city north of Littleton.
