Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Yesterday was the first day of Winter, which means there are some realities about Winter in Phoenix that you’ll have to accept.
Here are 10 realizations you’ll have during a Winter in Phoenix:
10.) You Have to Find Where You Placed That One Sweater You Own
How many long-sleeved shirts do I own? Oh, one.
9.) There Are Snowbirds Up in Here!
Everywhere, don’tcha know?
8.) You Want the Summer Heat Back
That’s a lunatic thought.
7.) This Looks Nothing Like Winter
Phoenix always has that “business as usual” look about it.
6.) It Must Suck to Be in Chicago Right Now
Or almost anywhere else. Maybe not Miami.
5.) How Do You Turn on the Heater?
Do I even own a heater? I have a heater, right?
4.) I Could Probably Survive for 15 Minutes in Alaska
After you realize you’re complaining about cold weather in Phoenix.
3.) Snow Isn’t Coming
Sorry.
2.) People Are Ridiculously Overdressed for the Weather Conditions
It’s 50 degrees, and people are wearing gloves, ski jackets, and knit hats. People in Wisconsin wear t-shirts at 50 degrees.
1.) More Than Once, You Will Hear, “You Don’t Have to Shovel Sunshine”
THEN WHY ARE YOU DRESSED LIKE YOU LIVE IN ANTARCTICA?
