@novemberSUN1 How far is the nearest ski resort? i could probably deal with it most of the year, But eventually i would think that i would need to see some snow

@kylem1112 You get used to the heat. Think of the bight side. The hotter it get the less clothes you wear.

wtf i was searching for phoenix the band

[kylem1112]

I'm from colorado, born in raised, and iv'e thought about moving there, because of the mountains, and even though it's hot, it's dry heat like colorado. The only thing I'm worried about is the heat though. Is it really that hot? I'm used to it even getting up to 90 degrees here in colorado in the summer, so i'm sure that's a taste of it. I just don't know how i'd handle another 20 degrees hotter than that O_O
