What Does Groundhog Day Mean In Arizona?

Hi Ray Henson,

There is nothing like Arizona weather.  Some people don't enjoy the dry weather but I love it and there is nothing better than pushing 300 days of vitamin D! Happy Friday! 

Hi Dorie Dillard Austin TX - Our local news has been covering that storm.  They said it finally moved out of Texas yesterday.  I was thinking of you.  I have never been through an ice storm but have heard that it is the most devastating winter storm you can get.  I am glad that the conditions are getting back to normal.  Here is to 70º!! 

Hi Jeff Masich-Scottsdale AZ Associate Broker,MBA,GRI - The Cactus League Spring Training is the unofficial start to our Arizona spring. Yea!

Hi Endre Barath, Jr.,

I certainly get it.  Our family has relatives in Nebraska and Chicago.  I have had many clients who come from cold climates and never want to see snow again.  I remember the snow-capped San Gabriel or San Bernardino mountains and how beautiful they are.  

I have known Sedona agents who will not display images of snow at all.  I won't do that.  I showcase all of Sedona for what it is. Personally, I have never heard anyone who lives here take issue with our snow because it goes away quickly.  

Hi Kat Palmiotti - So true.  It is out of character for our area.  But it is not a hassle either.  It only lingers in the shade.

Hi Anna Banana Kruchten Phoenix Broker - It is busy.  We have friends volunteering for Superbowl.  My head was spinning when they talked about the schedule.

Half the local news is about the Phoenix Open, Barrett Jackson, The Superbowl Experience, etc.!  They said that the Phoenix Open brings in about over $500 million without the Superbowl!  We love Phoenix/Scottsdale ...all year long.  

Hi Roy,

If the sun is shinning and there is no snow, that is a good thing.  Stay warm!

Hi Michael Jacobs - I remember getting our "taste" of the seasons by visiting the mountains.  I don't think many SoCal residents will disagree with you and Endre.  

You had me laughing Brian England.  We used to go to Maui every February, and if a "cold" front came in where it was low 60ºs, you could determine where people were from by the way they dressed.  Locals had winter jackets on, California and Arizona visitors had sweaters and people from cold climates were in shorts and t-shirts!

Hi Nina Hollander, Broker -  We won't see more than a couple of days in the 70ºs if any at all in February.  But I agree with you, I am ready for spring!  One thing I have noticed about having defined seasons, something that we really didn't experience in SoCal, is that you are usually ready for the next season and you appreciate each upcoming season more.
