drought in SW Colorado
Some of the reservoirs in SW Colorado are at less than 10% capacity. Stunning to see. The Animas River is at all time low... let it snow! we don't need any stinking wildfires next year. Nice cool summer at 7800 feet though... Monsoon missed us...
After living in Delaware for
After living in Delaware for the past twenty -odd years, I'm convinced Hell is humid. I'm from the desert southwest originally and going back next week. I can't wait.
Third summer in New Mexico
So this was my third summer living in the New Mexican Chihuahuan desert and I have to say it definitely gets hotter than Hades, we were in the triple digits since about late April and many weeks it was well over 110 degrees, being originally from the great lakes area it was a huge change to adopt to from not only the climate but the elevation, during the summer in the great lakes region you swelter from the humidity and in the winter months you freeze from the bitter cold, snow and ice, comparing the two climates I will take the desert any day over the great lakes climate, I love the desert.
Its a dry heat :)
Lived in the southwest part of Arizona most of my life. I have lived up in Maine for 2 years just 20 minutes north of Bangor. Its just opposite from what I experienced in Arizona. During the summer in Arizona, I stayed in AC'ed buildings and cars. During the winter its the ooposite, I stayed inside heated buildings and cars. That's bout it.
As weather
I visited my friends in Phoenix twice from Portland Oregon . Would not live in dusty hot city! Then they moved to Tucson. Visited twice, was warned...hot hot summer, stay inside. Love the heat. Love monsoon. Go out early morn and late evening. I live in Green Valley. I love it.
AZ sucks..
Its a lousy place to visit let alone live..been here for two years now..half way between PHX and Tucson..I miss the puget sound area..and the thing is the state and counties could fix this but they are poor and corrupt..just like the residents..AZ will be out of water in 20 years..
You are welcome to leave our wonderful state
If you think AZ is so bad, please leave ASAP. It will make our state that much more beautiful.
AZ Sucks
My friend JD, I lived in Seattle for 20 years of my life, I have lived in eastern Washington which is much better but Seattle SUCKS big time. rains almost every day, dark and glumly, and when the sun does come out on a weekend which is very rare, everyone heads to the beach or parks and that sucks. Can't even find a parking spot. Seattle has the highest rate of suicides in the US not because its a good place to live but because it sucks! We may be out of water in several years but the is our Governments in Nevada, California and Arizona's fault, not the people of Arizona Go home Mr. negative. If you don't like it hear, leave! Call me, I'll help you pack!
AZ sucks
I strongly beg to differ! I was born in Gallup N.M. close to the Arizona border. I was raised in Albuquerque but always loved driving west through Gallup toward Tucson. The Sonoran desert is gorgeous especially early morning and sunset. Saying "AZ sucks" because you don't like it is unfair. Two years is hardly time enough to form a solid opinion. The good news is you have a choice and if you believe AZ sucks you can choose to return to your home roots. Adios!
Weather summer
I have lived in Arizona since 1974...I can teĺl you this "summer" thus far, is mild...but much like the late 70's and 90's thru 2010..I guess what I am saying is, what goes 'round comes 'round. Wouldn't change the Sonoran desert for anything!
