Ah, Fall in the Southwest.....

Daytime highs in the 80s, nightime lows in the 60s, low humidity (Monsoon Season is over!!)

tabs...You poor souls in LV.......Here we had one day of 100 during August, and only a few handfull all Summer. It sure ain't Phooenix down here!!

nostatic: Our four seasons are something like yours. Maybe three to four weeks where there is a danger of a frost. "Toss a sheet over the tomato plants, hon...." (Actually, in January of 2002, we had snow!!) BTW....you claim four seasons and list three.

dan: Seriously, "back east" (upstate New York, on the shores of beautiful Lake Ontario, also known as "the snow belt" or, if you prefer, "the rust belt".), my two favorite months were May and October. Crisp, clear, invigurating. The only problem with October is the stretch of November through April that follows. As I got older, I began to dread Winter. If you have never spent time in other areas, you cannot make a valid comparison. We have deciduous trees that change color and drop their leaves, but they do so later and releaf sooner. I even have a small patch of grass in the back..nostalgic, ain't I? We have the advantage of being able to go skiing 18 miles away on Mount Lemmon. And, on the way up the highway, you go through every climate zone including southern Canada where things that grow in that elevation cannot survive anywhere else. We call our mountains "Sky Islands". I am less than four hours from the Sea of Cortez if I long for the Ocean. Look up "Rocky Point, Mexico".
