    This is why I buy a new battery for 3 cars every 2 years regardless:

    I love it. Moved here for it because I am sick-to-death of shoveling 3 ft of snow from the driveway. I like to run at night because it is warm but no sun to make things harder.

    I lived in Greenesboro/Kernersville for a while. You have some altitude and cooler temps than W-S. Not frigid, but I an old and intolerant of cold. PHX for me.

    You get used to it. It helps that most of the time you can sweat it off hardly knowing, unlike humid zones. Come on out to PHX in November/December ... you will like it ... seriously.

    Depends on how careless you are. Last month a 10-year-old kid died. Family had just moved from Missouri the day before, went on a long 9AM-3PM hike in the open/cloudless desert-like park. You can sweat so easily that you are not aware you are losing fluids rapidly. Handle it correctly, it can be very usable.

    Man that’s terrible. Guess most people aren’t used to that kind of heat.

    Never denied it. State of mind, I guess, accepting this to avoid 10 F in winter. But ... PHX is in a "valley". 80 miles north and 3 ft higher is Payson or Prescott -- it has cooler winters. 120 miles north is Flagstaff which gets genuine winter. One can live in hot but easily get to cold, or in "mild" and go to hot or cold.

    I left Oregon to come here for the heat and plenty of sunshine. Glad I did.

    Another former Oregonian checking in. I'll take the heat over whatever Oregon has to offer.
