Message: [QUOTE="Hey Adrien!, post: 3222961, member: 5787"] My in-laws recently moved to Fountain Hills, Arizona. First visited in July '18 and the 115 degree weather was awful in the day, but tolerable from 7 PM-9 AM. The same trip, we drove up to Flagstaff to go to the Grand Canyon and hung out in the town for three days, and I was shocked how moderate the weather is there. 80 and dry, absolutely gorgeous. After that visit, we politely told my in-laws that we are only visiting in the winter unless for emergencies. Over last Christmas break, I quickly learned that spending 10 days in the Phoenix area in late December/Early January is a great respite from the darkness of CT and it helped me tolerate winter better once we arrived back. My niece is entering her junior year of high school and is starting to get D1 schools pursuing her for soccer. She wants to play out east, but if she stays local, Northern Arizona would be her top choice and it would be so much fun visiting her out in Flagstaff and possibly get some winter snowboarding done out there too. So far, Flagstaff is my favorite town I've visited in Arizona, but I'm excited to see Tucson for the first time in December. [/QUOTE]
