So for those of you who have relocated from the north to the south, how many warm winter's will you get to enjoy before you become acclimated to the climate, and fall into agreement with the locals that fifty degrees is ski mask weather?

Been in the desert for 7 years, I am a desert dweller, I like it over 90 degrees. I started wearing a jacket in the winter when it is in the 50s after about 4 or 5 years.

I haven't gone to gloves yet. Though early in my time here when I was officiating football, I argued with my fellow officials whether to wear long sleeves. This past year we did a game up in Prescott where the temps dropped into the 40s and was freezing in my short sleeves and would have worn gloves if I had them with me. The whole crew bought long sleeve shirts for these type of games in the future.

I'll be checking new mexico in a few years

gotta be better than Texas or Arizona

Florida is way to humid
I love Arizona, couldn't pay me enough to live anywhere else. If I want anything snow, ocean, change of season, etc. I am only a short drive away, but I still hate shoveling the sunshine in the middle of winter

I'd rather have Chicago winters than Phoenix summers. Although I don't like Chicago summers much either. 

But... Where I'm at I don't have to worry about either one. 

I might wear a light jacket if it gets down to low 50s or into the 40s... But it never gets cold enough here to do much more than that.

Isn't much of New Mexico at higher elevations? Phoenix and Tucson are pretty low-lying places. That could make a big difference in Winter.

My in-laws used to have a place in Show Low AZ to escape to in the summers, in the mountains. You couldn't be up there in the winter if you don't like winter. Now they just hunker down in Chandler all summer.

Yep. I recall a business trip many summers ago where it was a day in Phoenix followed by a day in Albuquerque. 

Phoenix was 115. Albuquerque was about 95. Which in the desert, 95 isn't all that bad. 

Albuquerque is somewhere around a mile elevation, which helps in the summer. I've never been there in winter though.

They should do it. Personally I think the name Shithole suites it better.
Ha. I guess the name Ann Arbor was already taken as they are synonyms. :)

It's like a minivan, but cool.

In a white New Balance sneaker sort of way.
You and I differ on our definition of "cool".

I've been told that before by many.

But it's ok. Y'all can be wrong together.

Wearing white New Balance shoes is a thing? I had no idea.

I wear New Balance because they're my favorite shoe for running after long years of trying out Nike, Saucony, Brooks, Aesics, and probably some others.

But my New Balance running shoes aren't white.  Usually I get gray.  I had one pair that was bright blue, but they were a little too flashy for me.

Well thanks, man!  I don't know if New Balance makes any burnt orange shoes.  They do make black ones, I've occasionally bought those as well.

Yeah, the elevation makes a huge difference. I am in St George Utah which is about 3000 feet. In may there was still snow atop the great mountain north of town. In the valley we were already swimming and boating.

Mesquite Nevada is just south of us, but at 1000 feet it is always about ten degrees hotter. The town just north of us, Cedar City, is at 5000 feet, and is always about ten degrees cooler.

The Grand Canyon is nearby, and the ranger said that the top had a climate similar to BC Canada, while the bottom has a tropical, equatorial climate. The Natives used to grow crops at all different levels in order to take advantage of the various climates therein.
