Sheena - You totally misread my post. I believe we're on the same page. Not sure why you're so ANGRY when I said in my post that I hated winter also! Did you not read the part where I said "I'll be happy when I can finally move to Zona"? The only part of your post I quoted was the part about the car wash. I think you need to read carefully before you respond to a post!

Someone needs to chill, and take a trip to Michigan. MI is lovely, minus the economy. Sure winters can be hell, but so are AZ's summers. The close-mindedness on this website is astounding.

Why does snow bother people? It beats rain, it's pretty and you can play in it so many dif ways... It beats being trapped in your residence while living in a friggin blast furnace - PS here is my weather from yesterday..

I'd rather shoot myself than read a post wrong! lol
Michigan is inspiring some rage. Does look a little frosty in the winter but it's a little too toasty here in the summer. What difference what part of the year you spend inside. I think I might want to look out the window at snow instead of dirt or rocks. At least Santa goes to Michigan.

Yes - that is what I mean. Most teenagers work at fast food or something similar, like the Mall. I doubt you could get a job at a fast food place if you could not speak English.

How were Spanish-speaking people doing an office job? I've never worked at any office where the real workers, meaning not maintenance or clean-up, did not have to speak English.

I was in Iron Mountain MI, a few times last winter and they have a saying up there. When the temperature gets to about -20F, it's getting chilly and when its -35F to -45F it's getting cold. If you ask me, Anything below 40F is cold.

I am currently in Chicago where the temperature today is at 88F with the humidity at 70% which puts the heat index well above 90F (the heat index is the temperature that your body actually feels)

If any one spent any time in a humid climate. You know how difficult it is to function when the humidity gets above 50% and its 70F or more.

Not to say that 120F+ with 8% humidity is not hot. But at least I can still Barbecue at night, without the bug army attacking me.

Right now its 86 with 44% humidity:
Chicago, Illinois (60601) Conditions & Forecast : Weather Underground

Tomorrow 74 with 30% humidity:
Chicago, Illinois (60601) Conditions & Forecast : Weather Underground

Then 77 with 40%
Chicago, Illinois (60601) Conditions & Forecast : Weather Underground

Then 77 with 40% again
Chicago, Illinois (60601) Conditions & Forecast : Weather Underground

There are breaks in the bad weather here, alot more good than bad. Alot of people here are stating that you dont get breaks from the heat in AZ, for several months at a time. Ill trade a few days of high humidity, for several days of paradise-like temps over the 3-4 months of 100+ readings in PHX. I was just down there again a few weeks ago, and it was 116 a few days. Dry or not, that was WAY more uncomfortable than 80 and 70% humidity. Ive never sweat so bad in my life, not to mention that I had to drink 2 gallons of water everyday. I love the PHX area, but never again will I visit in summer.... I used to think October was pretty hot in AZ. It kinda is, but compared to June/July/August and September, its a real "treat".
