Don't move to Arkansas for the weather. There's a lot of good things about this place, but weather is not one of them. We have hot humid summers, some cold rainy winters, we have about a week of spring and fall, the rest is pretty iffy. We also have tornadoes and a couple of ice storms most years. We do have wonderful lakes and rivers and a lot of other fun things. Many wonderful and generous people.

Having lived in Southern California, Northern Virginia, Arizona and raised in Southwest Missouri, and traveled in all 50 states, I have now lived in Colorado for 50 years. I would not trade the weather and the beauty for anyplace else on the planet. Contrary to most belief, we have mild winters, usually mild summers, little or no insects (I'm highly allergic), no fleas to bother the pets and the humidity was 5% on Friday! Today I drove from home to Boulder, a mere 10 miles, and as usual was awestruck by the ever-changing magnificence of the mountains.

In fall, the apple orchards call out to us....mmmm apple cider and doughnuts with the crisp leaves crunching under your feet as you walk. The gorgeous colors of fall are breathtaking. Some people don't like the winters with many gray sky days. Then they can stay inside. I love the snowman in the front yard and the beauty of it all. I agree---go and visit and then make your decision.

I like the weather where I am (N. Texas) although I'm having a tough time with it right now because of the drought conditions.
We tend to have warm winters and hot summers. The winters tend to be ice instead of snow. I can't really describe stuff anymore since the weather has been so odd.

Almost no insects to contend with and having the mountains so close is a little bit of heaven. The people are friendly and down to earth; it is without a doubt the best place I've ever lived. We've been here 34 years and will never leave.
