To live in northern Arizona you have to get used to it and

get the items necessary to survive in this weather. First before you move here you need to remember that Arizona is not all desert. My Dad to his dying day told me time and time again "I don't know why you wanted to move to a damn desert".
Northern Arizona is snow country and a lot of snow too. Our winter is October 15 thru June 1st, sometimes a bit longer. Three years ago it snowed on the 4th of July. It didn't stick but it sure snowed like crazy for a couple of hours. If you don't handle snow day after day then stay in Phoenix once you figure out how to survive in 130 degree temps every day. When it hits 70 degrees in Phoenix people wear heavy coats and ear muffs.
I have lived in pretty much every part of the U.S. When I was in radio for almost 25 years I moved about every 2 or 3 years, In radio if you are decent you get offers from other stations and if the money is right you pack up the wife and kids and move, sometimes a move is 2000 miles.
Anyway, I have lived in just about every part of the U.S. and I have yet to see the perfect place to live. It is probably there but I haven't found it yet.
