As far as Casa Grande? Not really. Ive only been through the city a few times. I mainly stay up in North Scottsdale with family, but travel the state extensively. Nothing to really see in do in Casa Grande that excites me, so thats why I dont know the area well. Its kinda like the South Elgin, IL of Arizona. Some nice new parts, some old run-down parts, with your average shopping stores, etc. Nothing to write home about, but nothing to completely scoff at either. It just kinda.... there.

Thanks for the link. I did read that one before. It was pretty informative. Even though a lot of people say that a young single person would not like it there because it is too far from the city of Phoenix, I think I will like it. That is what I am looking for. I don't like the big city life. I like the layed back old town feel.
Thanks for your help

Well, you should enjoy it then. Id also recommend Surprise (even though its hardly "old") and Anthem too. Theyre a bit far out, but far safer/nicer than Casa Grande.

Anyways, back on topic... supposed to clear up tonight with a freezing low of 30 degrees. Last year around this time it was in the 70s.

Can someone touch base on this whole Midway weather bubble?

Email Tom Skilling. I dont think anyone here is remotely qualified enough to answer that.


Well, its another beautiful morning though! Sun is shining and its supposed to be in the lower 50s today, same for tomorrow.

Snapped these last night...

I will do just that,

Its amazing how a small block of land with airplanes on it can effect snowfall and rain for a 100+ square mile area or more.

Another beautiful morning. Supposed to reach 53 today, mostly sunny, becoming more overcast tonight with some sprinkles possible.

Snapped this last night:

Today is shaping up to be pretty nice. Low 50s in the western burbs, low 40s near the lakefront. Saturday is supposed to be 62 and mostly sunny, Sunday almost 70 and the same, until late Sunday night when some sprinkles move in.

Currently 61 at 12:40, not a cloud in the sky and a perfect gentle breeze here in the western burbs. Spring is here!
