Does AZ heat really feel that bad? (Tucson, Surprise: heat pump, area)

It's Steve-o's M.O. and it has been going on for a couple years now. Say anything good about AZ, he puts it (and maybe you) down. Say anything bad about the midwest, he jumps in head first with both feet criticizing the post and usually the poster. Try it - just say it's too humid in the midwest. It can be entertaining, but most of us, like you, have grown rather tired of it.

There are many days with the same weather in PHX. I was in PHX a few years ago in December and it was dang cold and raining in PHX, too. It was so cold at night that I was just waiting for snow to start falling. But everyone knows that thats not typical PHX weather, neither is that for L.A. The reason I prefer L.A.s weather is that its a little more humid, not quite as sunny, and much cooler in summer, just as warm in winter. Its just a shame that I dont like the city too much and its insanely expensive.

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain (Ponderosa). He is also notoriously negative, and even had his MODERATOR status revoked for the same reason he's trying to peg on me. Funny how they, uh, never mention that.

You have never lived in Indiana, at least not according to your profile. How do you KNOW their weather isn't the worst! How do you KNOW where the graffiti is in Phoenix? You must be extremely all-wise and psychic, I guess.

For the record, I did not have my moderator status revoked. I resigned after being told that the rules were to be applied to you in a way I believed was different from the other posters on the forum and that I had to seek special permission to take substantive action against you. I have not mentioned this previously as you have never used my moderator status to slander my reputation as you have now done. For reasons unknown to me, you enjoy a privileged status that applies to no one else.

[SIZE=3]The National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) located in Asheville, North Carolina has this to say about the climate of Indiana, among other things, "Indiana has an invigorating climate with strongly marked seasons. Winters are often cold, sometimes bitterly so. The transition from cold to hot weather can produce an active spring with thunderstorms and tornadoes. Oppressive humidity and high temperatures arrive in summer."

Are you gonna bash them for having theirs, too? Probably not because you probably share the same opinion as them, am I right? Gotcha!!!

Also, AZ is in the southWEST.

Typo...homeschooling and posting here don't go well together. Apologies...Desert Southwest.

It's not what you say Steve-O. It's how you say it. Visiting a place isn't the same as living in a place, wouldn't you agree. I read posts that people vent about Chicago and it's easy to defend because you live there. I agree with you...everyone is entitled to their opinions. And I'm not saying stop voicing yours At all. See ya around CD Next time I'll keep my mouth shut

I only spent 6+ months in Indiana...(Noblesville to be exact). Winter there was FAR better than it was in southeast Michigan where I came from.

Hey Mi_MoM -

Where are you from in SE Michigan? I spent 4 years as kid in the Battle Creek area.

I lived in the midwest for almost my entire life...it is damn humid in the summers. And don't even remind me of the summer of '88.

I think we're all getting off topic.

Back to the weather! I'm loving it here and even though it's in the mid/upper 80's and even mid 90's here in Tucson I've yet to turn on the A/C....or furnace! It's been fantastic.
