    I'm sure my definition of cold is no where near yours. How about the 40s for lows.

    I never found the Arizona winters to be particularly cold but I did have issues with the skin on my hands cracking and bleeding quite often in winter. I had to use moisturizer for the first time in my life when I lived out there...

    Yep, mine bleed every year, even using O'Keeffe's or any other lotion. I keep a bottle of liquid bandage in my briefcase so I don't bleed on paperwork or my desk at work.

    If you ever miss the snow or want to ski (if we ever get some precipitation) Just head up Mt. Lemmon. 15 minutes to the base from my house, maybe 35 for you.

    You can “camp” next to @BillyB at a hotel and just join the shenanigans during the day or around the fire at dusk

    It'll get below freezing on a few nights in Tucson. A few more in Vail. It just doesn't come with bunches of snow. And it'll warm into the 50's or 60's the next day.

    I thought I told you, we have a grand trip planned to Colorado, so we’re ditching a few other summer trips/traditions to make it happen.

    Very few “hard” freezes, but when they do hit, plumbers are rolling in cash afterwards!

    I think the last one was 2014ish?
    I’ve heard stories at my current job during that time; you couldn’t even find solder or 15% brazing rod(to repair water cooled/heated hvac coils) during that time. It was bananas!

    I don't remember you telling me, but there is also a good chance that you did and I was just too drunk to remember.

    Na, I'm used to it. Wife made tacos with refried beans as a side last night for dinner and left overs for dinner tonight, washed down with plenty of Miller Lite. The ol bunghole is holding strong.
