What are the roads like in Utah during January? -

I live in Idaho and I am going to Vegas in January, Im not sure if it would be better to travel through Utah or Nevada. Im thinking of going through Utah so I can go on the interstate, but Im not sure. Can anyone help me or let me know what they suggest? Thanks! Im mostly worried about the weather conditions and if one way is safer then the other.

Depends on if there s a storm or not.Usually they re pretty good, unless the storm is actually happening while you re driving..then you might find some yucky conditions.If the storms moved through, plows will have already taken care of it.I live in Utah, I ve been to Idaho..not much difference as far as winter driving conditions.I ve driven to Vegas in the winter, I m driving from Northern Utah to Vegas at the end of February.95% of the time..the drive is fine.The other 5% is well..yuck. Good luck and have fun. My advice: stick to the interstate....even if it is snowing, they get plowed alot quicker than the back roads.

What are the pros and cons of living in Arizona? -

i currently live in massachusetts. i hate the cold/snow SO much. howssss arizona?

Massachusetts huh? lol That is wayyyyy too cold for me, I would probably just flip over and die HAHAHASo yeah, anyway...I think it would be a huge shock for you if you ve never visited/been anywhere that can get really hot. Plus, not only are our environments extremely different, but you may have a huge culture shock too (cowboy, Mexican, Indian, west coast, etc.) I m not positive about how cold it s gets in Massachusetts, but I ve heard well below zero at times. Yuck hahaBut to make yourself feel more comfortable, you could look at places like Flagstaff, Cottonwood, Prescott, etc., because those areas are cold (yes, we do get snow here) but most likely not as cold as what you re used to. You could stay there for a while and then work your way down to the hotter areas of AZ, because no one needs to get heat stroke here! lol (look that up if you don t know what it is).As for the creepy-crawlies, it seriously all depends on where you want to be. The colder areas up north will not have scorpions (they like desert climate), but will have daddy-long legs and bigger spiders. The hotter areas of Arizona can range just from city to city, so...are there any areas you are looking at right now? If you post what towns/cities you might like to come to, I could give more info. But yeah, everything really depends-it can be so confusing sometimes!! lolIf you want to ask me a Q you can always e-mail me personally. But yeah, hope this helped!!Best wishes!~loveisyou18 3

Pros: Sunny, 98 percent of the time in most areas. Nice dry heat, no humidity so you re not sweltering in the sun and drinking the air. Beautiful sunsets. Quiet. Has a nice mix of native american and mexican culture, people are pretty open there. Almost every house is pre-built with a swimming poolNeutral (either pro or con) small population except for old people. Not a whole lot of seasonal change...there is hot, hotter, hottest and HOLY SH*T ITS HOT! Cons: Plenty of snakes, scorpions, horny toads, tarantulas and cicadas to pester you with. Not a whole lot of employment opps, unless you live in a major city. Crime, especially human trafficking and sacrifice by satanic cults is high there, compared to the rate of those crimes in other parts of the country. Got a lot of illegal immigrants sneaking inHeat can be very hot. Yuma was named the hottest place in the country, like 6 times in a row, temps can get as high as 120 F.

I ve lived 30 miles west of Phoenix for several years now. I have never seen a scorpion in my house, yard or neighborhood. Our son lives in Tonopah and last year his wife killed a Bark Scorpion in their backyard. It was very aggressive and about four inches long.In housing developments that have become established it seems there are not to many problems with scorpions. All the clamor, car vibrations and daily living patterns of people tend to make life bad for the scorpions, so they move away from the people areas to quieter undeveloped areas.Crickets are an issue here for ten months out of the year. They tend to take a break during December and January. They re pests. You will step outside in the evening and two will jump into your house. Then when you go to bed they will chirp loudly to each other keeping you awake. Also I just read that crickets are the favorite food of scorpions. So when the scorpions leave an area the cricket population increases.Spiders pop-up frequently. I killed either a sun spider or a vinergaroon a few months ago. I got up to pee in the middle of the night, raised the toilet seat and there he was right on top of the porcelain bowl. It s a good thing no one sat down first.Snakes hide in the rocks around washes and arroyos. They are also found under trees on golf courses during the summer. Just be mindfull and watch where you step. If you are in a lightly traveled area and are returning to your car, take a moment to peer under the vehicle to be sure one hasn t taken solice in your car s shade. He could bit your ankles.Now as far as living in MA or AZ? I would take AZ anyday. Having lived in NY I do not like cold weather and snow. Give me the heat. Plus I am an outside type of guy. I could play golf everyday of the year if my money would holdout. You can t tee off on green fairways in Boston during January.Get your friends and come to AZ for a few days. You get a better feel for the area and the people that way.

Got a lot of illegal immigrants sneaking in --------------------------------------��WHAT? He must be smokin something or just watching Joe Arpaio (Americans most racist sheriff) speak about crime in Phoenix.....which is all exaggerated especially when it comes to the illegal immigrant situation. Don t pay attention to people like T. and he must be picking up rocks around the mountains of Phoenix because that s the only places I see all those critters he mentioned......horny toad?...never seen one, and I ve been here over 15 years.PROS:Plenty of sunshine, lots to do, cheap housing/rent, plenty of jobs, close to Mexico, California and Vegas. The high country is only 1.5 - 3 hours away (cool climate, pines and lakes). We don t have tornados, earthquakes, hurricanes or snow blizzards.CONS:HOT summers, lacks diversity (it s a very Republican/Conservative state), but we can change that, A racist Sheriff, crooked racist politicians that back the sheriff, and not that many big green trees.

I lived in Ct, just below you.Much different, its mostly flat and of course gets hot and has much nicer weather than NE. It s newer around here, so a better vibe. Also is more for the people . More things to do and can go to Cali if you want or mexico. The houses are in housing communities, 20 or so feet apart unless you have alot of money and can get a nicer house on its own; tons of houses in either way fro sale, for very good prices!Keep in mind, if you move to phx there is 12,000 sq miles of towns around the city with 30 towns, so your not just stuck in phx, you have everything, with all kinds of towns; you got a rich town, a city, a family town a desert town (mine; queen creek) a middle class rich town, a poor town, a mexican town, ect ect. Look up phx metro area to see all towns

ProsNice weatherConsTo many liberals moving in from Ca and the East Coast wanting to make Arizona like the state that they left!

NewYork transit information needed? -

I stay in Reading,PA and plan on visiting NewYork(NY) with my brother for sightseeing this weekend, i like to know what is the most economical way to visit NY. If i plan on using the subway in NY/PA and where should i park my car and how much does it cost for parking/train on average?This is the first time me visiting NY on my own, any advice is appreciated.

parking is a nuisance in NYC but if you plan on staying at a hotel they ll usually have a parking garage where you can park your car...if you don t want to take a car, take a bus or train... both will land you in grand central station... the subways are pretty easy to use... since it s your first time just don t use the subways to get some place in a hurry... they have maps all over of the lines and the areas they cover.. take your time and they should make sense to you too...the best train line for you will be the 1 or the 9... these trains will take you straight up and down broadway (under it of course)... you can stop at 34th and broadway to see madison square garden, or 42nd to see times square, 50th to see the park and east side apartment buildings,113th to see where they filmed some of the seinfeld episodes... the best pizza in town is at a place called coronets pizza... it s near the corner of 113th and broadway.... columbia university is located at 116th and broadway....plan on doing a lot of walking...

You can park your car at the Metropark train station in Iselin and take NJ Transit s Northeast Corridor Line from there to the City. The trip from Metropark to the city will take about 45 minutes and the fare is $8 each way, a person ($16 round trip, per person).Parking at Metropark will cost you about $9 for a 24 hour period.Metropark station is located at 100 Middlesex Turnpike, Iselin, NJ. The link below show the location of the station.I hope this information is very helpful.Good luck and happy holidaysNative New Yorker
