Keeping the Hangar Clear of Snow

Not that I want any more people moving to Arizona, but Arizona is a lot more
than hot summer desert. We also have mountains, canyons and high grasslands
all having their own unique climates.

I can drive 45 minutes south from Tucson and be dry and 90 instead of dry
and 105. I can drive 45 minutes and be at the top of a 9000' mountain in
pines, aspens and firs with temps in the 70's. In the summer you pick the
cooler destinations and in winter the warmer.

Using an airplane we can fly VFR to many of those kinds of places all year
round. We may miss our $100 hamburger 3 or 4 times a year because of
weather. Here it's hard to justify buying a 396.

I'll tell you what -- if this crazy fall is any indication of what
winter will bring, I'll be with you 100%...

Choose carefully. Last Friday, the Texas stockbroker on NPR said it was
15 degrees down there. And they get hurricanes there and in the
southeast, so you don't want to go there. Maybe Arizona?

Just so I can broil from April till October? Nah. Maybe someday, when I
can be a snowbird, but I couldn't stand living there year 'round. My
eyes just crave the intense green of spring in the Midwest, after a week
in the desert.

Kinda like this:

I don't think there is a perfect climate, outside of Southern
California -- and that area has pretty much been ruined, sadly.
