With at least 6 months of nearly-ideal weather here in the Valley of the Sun right in front of many of us, that's far superior to what yours truly and millions of other ex-Californians had to put up with in 64+ years of living in LA, to go with a substantially higher quality of life here than in CA.

Consequently a few cloudy days here and there is very tolerable for lots of us.

Cloudy days with cooler weather is perfectly fine with me. It sure is better than that dreadful heat we have to put up with all summer.

I just wish we'd get some rain. My sinus and skin have been so dry because of the lack of moisture.

Don't read into things too much.

I would send some to you if I could because I love all kinds of rain, snow, and other moisture

Here's a photo I took of some nice snow and clouds.

It's cloudy pretty much all fall and winter here; in fact it is rare to have a clear day here at any time of the year

That reminds me of the hell I experienced in NY every winter, I moved here to escape that permanently

it sure is pretty to look at via a picture, but, same here, after decades in the Midwest and dealing with that, I am so done with snow and ice...

I miss those views! So peaceful, beautiful, and overrated by most. Unfortunately, most take these gorgeous isolated areas of nature for granted until moving somewhere hectic and insanely busy all the time like overrated sunny all the time Phoenix. What I miss the most are country roads with nature lining the side. No free open space anywhere here - it's like living in a prison of big box stores I would do anything to see that exact scene right now!

"That was a fantastic cloudy, cool, windy, damp weekend, eh, guys?" - no one ever.


Frickin weekend was ugly. I wanted to go hiking Sunday but cancelled after the downpour we got overnight. Everything woulda been a slippery, muddy mess.

Remind us again why people move here to Arizona?
