I can't imagine living in such a cold climate. I just don't think I could do it having lived in a warm climate all my life.

The first time I met my future inlaws we went out to see them in Bullhead City, Arizona in August. No clouds, only a blue sky and huge sun with afternoon temps around 125F (about 52C) in the shade. They had no air conditioning, just a thing called a swamp cooler that had a fan blow over a coil with water dripping down it. I remember telling them that you could put your head in the kitchen oven and it would seem cooler!

Oh, and they don't usually have brush fires in that area since all of the brush dried up long ago, it's mostly just dirt and rocks outside.
