You Know you’re in Arizona When…..

You know to run the hose a few minutes in the summer so you don’t boil anything the water touches

In August anything under 105 is a nice day

You think oven mitts make great driving gloves

Prime parking is rated by shade and not location

You always have water in your car

You can snow ski and water ski on the same day

You keep an insulated bag in your car so the ice cream doesn’t melt before you get home from the store

You know how to pronounce Mogollon; not to mention cholla, Papago and saguaro.

You go barefoot more in the winter than in the summer

When it rains you run outside

Anything over 15% humidity is sticky

In the summer the water from the tap is hot and hotter..

Tumbleweeds are just a nuisance and not a big deal

Yes, a roadrunner is a real bird, no it’s not 3′ tall and it eats lizards and snakes not birdseed

Creeks, bridges and washes are usually not a sign of water

You know that a Haboob is just a nasty sandstorm

You can make sun tea in minutes

Vehicles with open windows have the right-of-way in the summer.

Watching winter weather reports from other parts of the country is a guilty pleasure. Sometimes you make popcorn.

You’ve made the mistake of sitting on a vinyl seat in summer wearing shorts..
