    I'll take my record snow, record cold, potholes, and sand all over the roads over those summers any day. Literally, what I think when I get in my car in the morning (no garage) when its 5 below and there's yet another foot of snow to be cleared off the windshield, is that I'd rather put up with this than deal with a car that's 160 inside and you can't touch any part of the black interior because it will burn you. Yep, 4 years in AZ was 4 too many. On the other hand my parents and in-laws live down there, so its a great place to visit, but only from Nov. - March.
    The best part about going up hills is riding back down!

    There are 120 reasons I'm happy to have left "the Valley" (aka Phoenix). You know it's going to be a blasted hot day when it's 9 am and already 100F

    Ha!!

    I guess I'm just a hot kinda girl but I LOOOOOVVVVVEEE my heat!! I can deal with my 3-4 months of butt hot (100+ June-Sept) summer days if it means I train outside year round. I just have to go out earlier during the summer months. I grew up in soggy nor cal where it seemed it rained from December thru May. I HATED that.
    Oh yeah, and it was 86 here today. YIPPEEE!!!

    Well, that's why they keep building and building and building; I guess a lot of people can put up with the 4 months of H***. It makes me sad to see how the valley has been ruined (do I sound old?). I definitely am a New England girl, but I did spend a good deal of my adult life there, my kids are native Zonies, ASU alum etc.
    I, too, will be happy to visit my friends in January, but I have come to the conclusion that it's the changeable weather I like, with something new every 2-3 days.
