75 Degrees in Tucson December 31, 2008
Tucson, Arizona 75 – Iowa City, Iowa 7.5 where would you rather be? This is one of the reasons people want to live in Tucson, especially in the winter. We have great weather. There are lots of people out and about today wearing shorts. YES, I said shorts, and short sleeve shirts too.

Bonnie Henry Prediction for 2009
