Wow, 70 degrees in sunny CA? LOL this morning here it was 2. Please ship excess heat east.
Yah, two degrees at six am. Even the cats didn't want to get up.
I suppose AZ can be pretty chilly at night... Flagstaff gets down in the 20s at night...
But you're not going to see two degrees out there. If it's that cold here on Christmas I'm not even going to my bro's house 35 miles away. I think it's supposed to warm up to freezing though. It's a little early for us to see near zero temps, we usually get that in deep winter later on.
Safe trip anyway!

On the 18th I'm headed home to hang out with my wife and daughter...The work folks keep asking if I intend to come back 
I'm looking forward to some gluhwein, christmas markets, a smartass 12 year old, and the smell of my wife's hair.

Thankfully no. For many years I had to travel to see family at Christmas (it was always us that did the traveling!).
Now we don't celebrate Christmas at all. So I'll be at home with my wife.

I just returned east from sunny Phoenix. While it's a little chilly there now, it was in the 80s when I arrived. Came back to three snow storms.
No, LOL!
I have friends in three different places in the UK, two in India, one in Australia, one in Sweden, one in Oregon and I keep track of the weather where my parents live as well as a few other places.
Fair enough. No need to track the three places in the UK.
It's cloudy and on and off rain. Period!
LOL!
Actually, it's four. I forgot one. Nottingham, Leeds, London and Birmingham.
Yup they are all wet and cloudy!LOL!

If you like sunny Tampa, you should try Phoenix in August!Traded in smokey SoCal for sunny Tampa
Guaranteed sunny!
I'll chime in on that one. I haven't been to very many countries, but I'd like to visit all 50 states in the US. I've still got about 10 or so to get to when I retire.
We have a pad of paper in the shape of the lower 48 states, with all the state boundaries. In other words, it's a map note pad. We have colored in the states each member of our family has been to. Even our daughter-in-law joined in, and now our granddaughter has her own page.
I do better in 115 than in 90 degrees/90 humidity.If you like sunny Tampa, you should try Phoenix in August!

My dad used to work in aerospace so the contracts TRW/Rockwell had moved us around quite frequently. Business trips he took us along on and because of air miles earned family trips.
But I don't think I've ever been to more than 5 or 6 states.

Oh awesome, I can finally make an Arizona quotation!!!!
It's a dry heat!
I'm saving that for spring break. I don't visit my kids in winter anymore. And this Christmas break I'm going to be lazy and stay home and veg.
Lol, totally lmao. “It’s a dry heat “.My dad used to work in aerospace so the contracts TRW/Rockwell had moved us around quite frequently. Business trips he took us along on and because of air miles earned family trips.

Famous last words.
That’s why you go to Florida from November to ~March. Pretty much zero humidity but still relatively warm
I like Arizona and the desert. I agree about the weather in Florida, butvthe same can be said for Arizona as far as the weather. Plus there’s s lot to do and it’s close to California.That’s why you go to Florida from November to ~March. Pretty much zero humidity but still relatively warm
I was born in Cali and I lived there from 1980 to 2000.
Not so sure being close to California is a point in Arizona's favor.
