So we are doing our first snowbird adventure and we are in Arizona. Honest to gosh, the weather back home in the DC area isn't much worse than here, and on some days it has actually been warmer.
Everyone is telling me this is an unusual year. Lucky us.
Sorry, just had to rant a bit. This has not turned out to be what we had in mind. We are learning a lot of lessons for next year though.
This isn't the coldest winter we've been in. Remember a few years ago when one of the golf tournaments had a snow day in Tucson? But it only lasts for a day or two. It is a wet winter - but really can't hold that against them. The Southern Ca/Ar/Nv area NEEDS RAIN/SNOW desperately. They have had 5+ yrs of drought and really, really need the water. This is a good thing, and the cold weather (it you want to call it that) is short lived. The sun is shining and it will be in the 60s during day/40s at night by the weekend.
