If you are comparing Yuma winter weather with any other place in AZ, Yuma will measure milder, with less wind/dust than most if not all of the other popular snowbird destinations. January weather comparisons A comparison of wind and air quality will also favor Yuma. Sure Tucson and PHX metro areas will have more amenities, they should given the population.
In Yuma we can have the kayaks launched in 5 minutes after leaving the house, we could not do that in either PHX or Tucson. I can pick all the free lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower we can eat...thanks to the neighboring farms, I can pick grapefruit, oranges, tangelos, pecans, all winter in our yard...and home grown tomatoes in Feb. We can be in MX in 30 minutes, or on the SD beach in 3 hours. Bottom line is Yuma is not for everyone, but to disparage Yuma because it does not suit you, is doing everyone a dis-service... we are all different, we want different things and for the moment, Yuma provides most of what we desire in a winter destination.

Thank you Sir. Well said. My home is in Yuma and the winter weather can't be beat, and that's enough for me.
