Sorry for going off-topic.. but that was part of our desire to move.. the weather from having having 4 distinct seasons, including what I personally desire for holidays (4th of July should be hot, Halloween should be starting to cool off where you don't die of heat from wearing heavier costumes, Christmas/New Years should be cold, Easter should be just starting to warm up and looking forward to Spring, etc.).
Me too. Honestly, have Thanksgiving in 85 degrees and clear blue skies (and christmas, new years...) has always bugged me.
I am so excited to be moving to an area with 4 proper seasons.

It is interesting to me how some people love the cold or love the heat- makes you wonder what is it about their makeup that causes this. I used to have a theory that depending on the month you were born may influence the climate you prefer- just a dumb theory.
I have wondered the same thing many times. I'm glad there is someone else out there that is curious about that too. I was born March 19th, and can't stand the heat. It makes me ill, and I can't do a thing. In fall, and spring I come alive. My ex husband was born June 10th and loves the heat. You might be on to something IDK. Interesting though.
Your ideal dream climate . Nothing would make your life better than living where you're most comfortable. Have you moved simply for this reason? Or atleast 90% of it? How has this decision affected your life? What do you like most about your new perfect climate home ?
We moved from 20 years in the PA snow to Northern CA in the late '80s. Lived there 10 years, then moved to NC to be closer to family. Lived there 17 years, grew tired of the snow and ice, occasional as it was, and moved to SW FL last year.
I enjoy being warm all the time, do not care in the least about season changes or a white Christmas, and would be fine with never seeing weather below 50 again.
Hurrican Irma, on the other hand, was somewhat of an annoyance, though.

I'm born in early February and winter is my favorite time of the year. But I think it also greatly varies where you live. "Winter" where I am is in the 70s and 80s.
Per the bolded, I will never understand this. Most of the places that celebrate Christmas are in the southern hemisphere (where it is summer then, they don't celebrate Christmas in June just so it's winter), or in the tropics. And "Jesus and the three wise men" were from Israel, which has a similar climate to California
The wise men were not from Israel. They traveled a great distance to Israel, but were from a different country.
Israel can get snow in winter, and it's beautiful.....
I did. Got away from the west coast (in US terms - the pacific northwest), and moved to the prairies. I hated the dreary drippy winters and sort-of but not-really warm summers. Love the four seasons and dry climate. Love winter so much! Blue skies and crunchy snow make my heart sing. Then summer comes and it's hot hot hot for a bit, which I also love. Fall is a bit short, but that's the worst of it.

If I were in your shoes I would greatly look forward to winter in Arizona too. It sounds like the best time of year for me as well.
Born and raised in Pennsylvania, and I HATE Winters. Never want to see that white stuff again in my life. Moved to Florida years ago and will never live anywhere else. It's not perfect, but when you are outside in shorts in January, it ain't all bad either.
