Spring in the desertCan you see yourself working in a warmer climate like Arizona? Maybe you don’t want another depressing gray winter. Throw the chains and snow tires away, or keep them for travel to skiing areas.
Arizona gets over 300 cheerful sunny days per year. You might even be

seasons!” You can always drive up to the mountains to see the seasons
and the snow and the pine trees. Then come down to the valley where the
jobs are.
