Arizona in winter

Can't really speak as an informed member of THIS community-yet--got out in Phoenix in 80, went to ASU, raised a family there until 2001, still own properties there, too. It's pretty brutal from now thru the last week in September. Steve Benson is/was an Editorial cartoonist who used to enrage the snowbird/RVers 3-4 times a year with his commentary in the AzRepublic, though. It was Hilarious, unless you're thin skinned. He had gone off the political deep end by the time I left though. Prices there are like the ROK when the 7th fleet ports in Pusan---You know and feel it up on the DMZ. I'm partial to the area north of Globe Morenci, myself. Heber is too far north/cold for me. Lots of resources there for you, for the same reasons. The river cities average 112 degrees in the summer. Yuma is similar. Lot of people summer in the Prescott valley area, 70 miles north of Phoenix. Tucson is relatively cooler too. Different 'culture' there, though.
