Yesterday, St Louis had a high of just 12°! While our high was 73°, and St Louis' low was 2° while our low was 46°!
Our morning low was 34° warmer than St Louis' afternoon high yesterday; score one million for Phoenix just for that ��
And last week our highs were in the 60s. This week is not indicative of a typical St. Louis winter. It’s an extreme cold front that won’t last that long. And it brought a white Christmas which is heaven. Last year my kids and their cousins were in the pool on Christmas.
You said all our teams suck butt lately, they don’t. If it’s a championship or nothing then you’re going to be letdown most of the time in just about any city. I’d personally rather cheer for the Cards with no Super Bowls but class acts like Fitzgerald than a team like the Patriots who seem to be accused of cheating every few years and have no issues signing players with poor off field ethics. Winning at all costs is not something I would respect or wish for in my local teams.
I never said "lately". Obviously PHX's teams have had relative success in recent years, but without titles or banners to hang from the rafters, it isn't much of a bragging right.
I agree with you about class acts like Larry vs Brady, but no doubt the Pats are a dynasty. Something that PHX desperately needs, especially the Yotes.

I know that St Louis had a normal high of 41° and a normal low of 22° yesterday, but that is still too cold. Our normal high and low yesterday were 65° and 43°; much better

Much better, to you personally. Too cold, for you personally. I wasn’t aware you were the king spokesman for the entire population, my bad.
You like Phoenix better, awesome, good for you! This all comes down to personal opinion, and I think STL is night & day better. Again, personal opinion, nothing more

That's your opinion.
I'd personally take 41 over 118 any day, any time.
Phoenix has two seasons — hot and too hot. St. Louis is humid and has some serious winters. Desert scenery is desert scenery while Midwest scenery is Midwest scenery....depends on what you like. There are much better places to live in the Southwest if you want low humidity and a natural environment. Phoenix has an air of artificiality about it, contrived. St. Louis has a lot of problems but it is a well established and somewhat natural setting for a city with 250 years of nationally significant history and a population center going back to the Cahokia metropolis of prehistory. I could happily visit either one but would be more comfortable in St. Louis. Phoenix is about three times bigger than St. Louis...a city that cannot expand.

Really? Honestly I don't see it from all the times I've been to St Louis

To me, the city of STL just has more charm and history without a doubt. And the crime everyone claims is so bad, is literally contained to a very few select areas, most of STL and all of its suburbs are very nice areas.
The style of Phoenix is completely unappealing to me. The style of homes, scenery, weather, etc...I just don’t care for any of it. Fake grass or rocks as my yard, no thank you. But that’s my personal opinion.
The City Museum is one of the coolest places/attractions I’ve ever been to. Even as a Mid-Twenties adult, I had a blast!
