So do not cross the street?

How long would it take you to cross the street? Long enough to fry like bacon? How sensitive is your skin?

phoenix - Google Maps

Phoenix does not have trees to provide shade.

The cold is definitely easier to handle from a practical standpoint, but the heat may be a little bit easier on your mood. Up to a point anyway- too hot can definitely bring out the crazy in you.

Well, that is subjective to where you are in Phoenix. Many of the older neighborhoods have quite a few trees.

Default If you look at this year, Chicago hands down

One inch of snow so far, near 50 degrees today and an ungodly beautifully perfect winter, Chicago hands down over Phoenix, at least this year, for the weather.

This winter is especially sad. Give me some snow.

Phoenix Summers (sounds like an adult star, lol) by a mile, for one HUGE reason that hasn't been touched on all that much--the nights. Even if you call the days a wash (I wouldn't; a Phoenix summer day is no picnic but at least I don't have to dress like I'm about to invade Hoth when I leave the house), summer nights in Phoenix are much easier to deal with than Chicago's Winter nights. I don't know how anyone can argue otherwise with a straight face.

Sorry - can't stand the heat.
