Another Arizona in the Winter Query
I'm thinking AZ for the winter this year. We have never snowbirded before. Why now, because we moved to the area very near Cleveland OH, from the Smoky mountains...long story. Anyway we have camped in...

Not this winter. Phoenix area would be a better choice, more to do than Palm Springs, a little cheaper and probably slightly better weather during the coming winter.

Barb, I appreciate all your assistance....and I learned something I had probably forgotten from you...... night time temps are taken just shortly before dawn.....so we'll likely head out to Tucson in early Feb...no way to find out if it is going to work out as a snow bird location without going..........
3 years ago when I went through Tucson in Jan, it was snowing. It was an actual blizzard in Nogales, but that is higher up. In fact is snowed for the first 100 miles into Mexico.
Can't compare Nogales weather to Tucson. Nogales is 4,000 feet and Tucson is 2400 feet. I live near Nogales and we may once every couple of years have a little blowing snow in early morning or late evening but NEVER a blizzard. Grew up in Northern Kansas and I know what a blizzard is.
