Possible thinking on re-locating from Michigan and was wondering if anyone can tell me if ANY part of Colorado do NOT get snow in the winter? And if so, what the names of the areas or towns are called? Thanks so much.

You're gonna find snow pretty much anywhere you go in Colorado, but unless you're high up in the mountains, it doesn't stay white all season long.

If you're looking for a warmer area in the winter, try the Grand Junction, but be warned, it's in the desert.

I imagine anything below 10k ft. is going to be a step up from Michigan in the winter.

Yes believe me anything is better than Northern Michigan in the winter. Husband has terrible Asthma and Dr. has been advising for years to move out of state to warmer climate but Florida is way to hot and humid for our liking. Colorado is less humid, less hot and very little snow. Just what the Dr. ordered. lol No really, need a place with very little if no snow for him. Right now Im doing all the snow removal and In so done with that. Just starting out here and need a direction. Other factors is college aged son will be BACK living with us again And need to finish his Police academt classes so a college is next on my list. Thanks for any help I can get.

Pueblo gets a lot less snow then most cities especially on the front range but we still get snow. However, the snow we do get usually melts in a few days.

Delta, Montrose, Grand Junction. A few inches in winter so I'm told. Might want to stay away from Silverton and Leadville I guess.

I've been on hwy. 550 enough times in the winter to see a minimum of 5 feet of snow in Silverton in January, and even more in February and March. Leadville is somewhat similar.

Delta and the Grand junction area would be your best bet regarding snow in the winter. Delta's elevation is 4950 ft. or so and Grand Junction is 4560 ft.

Well you are not going to find no snow or no cold weather, some years are worse then others, some areas are. I find the below zero temsps here to not be as cold as where there is humidity.

Since it it due to allergies and such have you thought of AZ? They have drier and warmer weather then we do.
