But I must say, the pool water stays at a decent 90 degrees or so around the clock, so its never too cold.  |
I lived in New Mexico for a year (as an exchange student) and while that warmth was really nice when I landed (it was an average summers day in Amsterdam when I left, ie around 15 degrees and drizzle), I doubt I'd ever live in that area for long. I thought it was too dry.
And when we went to California (when my parents came over at the end of the year), we had snow, in June, while we were in Arizona... (north rim of the Grand Canyon)

I really missed the spring when I lived in New Mexico. It was cold in January and Februari and in March the sun came out (and only left at night) and the temperatures soared. You didn't have those fragile green colourings on the trees, the leaves grew out too quick. I love the early spring, when the buds on the trees are just about to open.
And pshrynk, I think I'd be so bored after one year that I'd love an old fashioned snow storm.
