Arizona Compare And Contrast

1290 Words6 Pages
Arizona and Colorado residents are brave people. They are adventurous, nature lovers, and not scared of a little bad weather. They do have one thing in common and that is living in amazing states. Arizona is one of the hottest states in the United States and Colorado is one of the coldest. They are both beautiful places to live in their own ways and provide great incentives for the people for doing so. Arizona and Colorado are complete opposites but both contain beautiful aspects that make them similar to each other. Living in Colorado, of course, has its pros and its cons just like anywhere else.

Those leather seats can get so hot they can cook an egg probably. On the contrary, the winter months in Arizona are very great for people who do not like snow and all the wonderful things it includes like shoveling snow and trying to drive in it. Many people come and stay in Arizona just during the winter months and leave back to their other home in another state when it gets too hot here. They enjoy the weather here so much they have their own name and are called our own “snowbirds”. Living in Arizona all year round and surviving the summer months is something one has to get used to. It does take awhile because it is not for the faint hearted. It is possible though! The beauty of Arizona is
