AZ weather

[bbaker2001]

We have been down in Phoenix for about 10 days
rainy and cold
I always thought this is where snowbirds came to get warm
my parents spent 3 months a year and it was warm, how things have changed

[Desert_Captain]

OK, one more... sometimes we actually do get winter here...



That's my front yard a couple of years ago, 1 to 4" drops almost every winter at least once.

It is this global warming thing. Yesterday we broke a very long standing record for lowest temp for the date.

Went down to a positively frigid 48F.

[Desert_Captain]

The latest forecast is for 87 on Wednesday, 86 on Thursday, 87 on Friday and 85 for Saturday with mid 80's thorough the middle of next week. Nope, no rain in our future. These brutal Tucson winters are tough. Must be time to go camping but might have to hit the higher elevations to beat the heat.... OK, I'll stop now.

RGV=Rio Grande Valley

[bbaker2001]

RGV ???
USAF 552 AEWC

[Endricken]

The RGV had a bad winter 2 seasons ago, this season and last have been GREAT!
Temps well above normal and unusually I'm still on my first tank of propane since the winter has been so warm.
I know some RVers "left" south TX after that bad season, I'm glad we stayed. Plus the valley seems friendlier and a LOT less expensive than Mesa or Tucson.
Safe Travels!

Currently 74, partly cloudy with southwesterlies at 15 to 20 {yesterday was 81}.

Could be worse, it's a freezing 61 here in San Diego 🙂

Hey doger
did not mean to complain, I just always heard how sunny it always is around havasu, just not this year.
and with all the rain, when do you think the flowers will start to bloom. Should be beautiful

Currently 74, partly cloudy with southwesterlies at 15 to 20 {yesterday was 81}. Just got back from a 120 mile motorcycle ride. Did a photo shoot in Saguaro National Park for a friend who manufacturers cycle accessories {tank bags, phone bags/holders etc.}. A little breezy coming back into Tucson from the east on I-10 but not too bad.

Winter seems to be slow to let go everywhere this year. Up here around Portland,Oregon we're still flirting with snow which is pretty rare this late. We will sometimes get a fluke event late in the winter but it seems like we've been in and out of snow since mid-December.

[bbaker2001]

Yes looks like it has changex for the better, we will be down here for another month. Hope fo get to Sedona. Maybe even Tucson

Looks pretty nice just N. of Tucson doesn't it.
