Welcome to Arizona. I moved here '4' years ago from Northern California and love it although I do miss being 40 minutes from Sonoma Raceway (locals still refer to it as Sears Point).

Welcome to AZ. I moved to Chandler, AZ in 2005 from St. Charles,Ill. Grew up in Chicago. Summers are a little tough here but the rest of the seasons are great. Elmhurst eh?, Fellow in a Ford station wagon tried to make a left turn in front of me at York and North Ave in 1966 while I was in my Triumph TR4...I stopped him cold, got a face full of steering wheel and glass...

Welcome to AZ. PA transplant here, don't mind the summers at least you don't have shovel it.
You should check out the ACE site (Arizona Corvette Enthusiast). We just post up and get together for cruises, lunches, shows, etc. No meetings, no dues, no rules..... oooppps rules are no politics, no religion, we all get along that way.
Oh and very nice ride.

Moved to Arizona from Ohio in 1991 and although I expect we will always consider Ohio "home"- it remains just a nice place to visit a few months of the year!

Welcome from Fountain Hills!

Hi Joe,

Since we're up around 5K altitude, the summers are pleasant enough that short pants are the norm but winter time get's a tad bit chilly with little bit of snow tossed in. Last winter might have had just a few days of snow with most melting within a few hours. Here's a capsule summary of the average high and low temps here in Prescott. Hope this comes through well enough.

January 52 - 24

February 55 - 26

March 60 - 31

April 67 - 37

May 76 - 45

June 86 - 53

July 89 - 60

August 86 - 59

September 81 - 51

October 72 - 40

November 61 - 30

December 52 - 23

Mike,
TU! It looks nearly ideal. I'll bet the humidity level is lower too being at 5K. 👍

Joe, just looked it up and one site said we're around 19% right now. Back when we were in our Monsoon Season, roughly July on up to Labor Day, I recall seeing humidity levels pushing into the 40% range but don't quote me on that.

Welcome from Mesa. I'm at the Crismon & Guadalupe area. Pretty much as far south and east in mesa as one can get. Check out ACE as mentioned above for some fun.
