I love the northern part when you are heading south and make that first turn where you feel like you are in the mountains. So pretty! That was one of the first drives I took when I first moved here. Coming from the flat lands of the Midwest, I was in awe! (still am)

Default If Phoenix is that hot, why do so many move there?

I'm no flatlander, but I find the scenery in Arizona the most awe-inspiring I've seen. "Big Sky Country" has nothing on the broad vistas to be seen all along the drive between Phoenix and Page!

ON the other side of I-40 from yall, (I am in Tennessee) we have a cool balmy 90 degrees with 95 percent humidity. You can have some of our humidity if you like??? You can see the air here in July, cut it with a knife.

Some place in the far north do see 6 months of winter weather. Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan are famous for their long drawn out winters. It can snow as early as October there and snow as late as May. November through April are truly cold. I just saw a story on the news today about a snowpile that is still melting in Buffalo New York. Yes there is still a SNOWPILE in very late JULY! I cant imagine.

That's one big reason why we're moving from the Frozen Tundra of Wisconsin to the sunny skies of Phoenix.

Having lived in Phoenix for a few years...as well as Wisconsin for MANY years...trust me, I prefer sun and heat MUCH more than cold, snow and humidity.

We were packing moving boxes yesterday to prepare for our move. The windows were open and after about ten minutes I felt (and looked) like I had been standing under a waterfall. It's funny...when people think of Wisconsin weather they tend to focus on the winter cold and snow, while forgetting the summer humidity.
