True story! I have lived here for six months and saw the temperature drop around the fifth month of being here. I honestly thought I would never wear jeans again. "Jackets," are sweaters here, a coat may involve a hood and maybe thicker material, but there is no need for a double lined jacked with a windbreaker and waterproof lining. (Washingtonians leave the NorthFaces behind)
It was the day before I would fly back to Washington for Thanksgiving and I wanted to lay by the pool for a few hours to keep up that "Arizona tan." I called up my friend on campus and asked if she wanted to lay out with me. She thought I was crazy and proceeded to tell me it's freezing. I looked at her in her jeans and pointed outside and said "It's 70 degrees! Its hot." I convinced her to go with me in the end, and i am happy to say I was comfortably warm and even stuck my feet in the water to cool off.
I'm starting to realize Arizonians are gifted with a high tolerance to
heat but sadly will never be able to go anywhere else in the world
because below 70 might send them into a case of hypothermia.
