The winter months are truly the all-stars here in the desert, as Arizonans walk around in shorts and tee shirts while neighboring states often find themselves in a deep freeze during these very same months.

Year round summer temperatures in Arizona would make this state a ghost town, just like it was portrayed in the old western movies.…
