Ha! I live in Phoenix. It’s a beautiful, sunny, 72 degrees. Neener neener! I think I won this argument after all, LOL.
I shoveled twice today (Maryland) and it’s still coming down. Not even trying to get car out today. Fortunately I grew up in upstate NY so snow brings back the childhood memories, especially for Christmas.
I love late Fall + Early spring the best, the seasons changing. But I know you are more than happy with your nice dry weather.
MD does have one huge advantage over Phoenix (probably.) Because it’s near DC (Fed Government based economy) it’s economy is healthy and house prices are stable.
