Yuma can get pretty darned cold in Nov, Dec, Jan & Feb. Looking at the historicals, indeed Yuma will hit the low to mid 20sF on occasion at night during these months (the most recent was in 1980 & 1981). The historicals show only mid 40sF at night for Dec, Jan & Feb in Yuma. Not exacly my interpretation of "warm in winter"; but "warm winter" can be interpreted by 10 million people in 10 million different ranges!
eg. warm in winter means for me: never ever the prospect to experience lower than 55F and during the day never ever lower than 75F +. This can't ever be achieved consistently during "winter" anywhere in the Continental United States (not even Key West); one would have to winter in the Caribbean or Yucatan or far south Mexican Pacific coastal regions.
So, what do you actually mean by "warm winter" by the numbers ?
