You probably would not like it here, it's usually between 0* and 90* and we get rain and snow ......
Have you ever experienced SNOW ?, I think you have, but not sure.

If I had anything in Central AZ, I would call it VACATION !

I didn't know that you moved back to AZ :up

Haven't moved back but seriously want to. and YES I have experienced snow, in TN, MO, TX and yes, in AZ. Trying to find and old pic from my hood. 80+ deg in the valley and snow up in the mtns.

That sounds like California

Pretty much the same; like Palm Springs

The best information about Russian launches comes from someone who posts as anik in the nasaspaceflight.com website. The latest thinking is that the earliest possible launch date for D12 is the last week of December. This is based on an uneventful launch of Eutelsat W7 on November 18th.

Of course this assumes:

* Boeing delivers the bird in time (not common, but they've been given a built-in delay)

* the rocket manufacturers deliver the launch vehicle and engines in time

* the weather cooperates

So last news from Anik a launch of D12 could be as early as Jan 2010.
