re: #558 MsJ

My favorite “trivia” that I was completely aware of…it is possible in Arizona to be absolutely freaking freezing cold - oh, and it snows.

I was in Flagstaff during the winter. Flew into Phoenix, it was 80 degrees. Drove to Flagstaff to work and it was -12 degrees (that’s 12 below zero - or absolutely freaking freezing cold). I was using a credit card to try to get the 1/4” of ice off my windshield. My customer had to come pick me up because I could not thaw out the car that morning. I was there a week…the weather never changed (but I did learn to go downstairs half an hour early to let the defroster in the car thaw out the windshield).

I had no idea Arizona was capable of that kind of cold.

It’s the altitude. 6900 ft, which is higher than Denver the Mile High City.
