For the first time in over 4 months I had to leave my Charger in the garage. That's because it RAINED!

Phoenix broke it's record for most consectutive days without rain. We made it to 143 days. Last measurable rain was last October!

Makes you remember that this is a stinkin' desert.

UA who, what kind of temps do you get this time of year in AZ? I would love to re-locate just to get out of the 8 months of snow & rain we get here in Toronto.... How far is Avondale from Phoenix?

Avondale is a suburb of Phoenix. I live there, work in downtown Phoenix - 14 mile commute, 30 minutes in traffic.

The weather now is very nice. Highs in the 70's, lows in the upper 40's.

Summertime though - April/May through September - highs in the mid 100's, lows in the 80's.

i like it when it rains here, clears off most of the salt!

Good for you!!! Now maybe the Northwest will get a dry day so I can take mine out of the garage!!

I hear ya. I get tired of buying new wiper blades when it rains...

only to use them once before they dry out and crack...

so I have to buy new ones when it rains...


That makes me think though. Do my wipers work? Have I ever used them?
Hmmm. Maybe I'll try them on my way home today just to see (of course, it's not raining though) :D
