climate of Prescott Valley - 1/30/2006
Mild in both summer and winter. Cold at nights sometimes goes down to teens in winter. Winter days can go to middle 60's but more around 50. You need furnace on every day.
Lots of windy days. Can be hard on older people espically women. Watch out for the everyday dirt dust devils. Keep your windows gaurded when they come through. ( Shut).
Not much rain at all.
Low humidity around 10%. Lots of sunshine. If it snows it melt real fast. Don't really need a snow shovel.
Cops! They are everywhere and get you for anything. I have never seen so many police in one area. It almost seems like a police state. There are just too many and they want more, 50 more. They will get you sooner or later for driving. Taxes are high and getting higher.
Water is gold here and they just keep putting in more houses. In the next 10 years the growth her will explode from 25,000 now to 300,000. We will have to move soon. With all that people and No water. This place will

She was diagnosed with breast cancer, June 2003. The local doctors were very reluctant to take her on with existing breast cancer and if so the cost to us could have been unreasonible.

There was a continual battle over the acquisition of lands for water, many very large and very coslty properties were being considered just for their water. Be very aware that neither Prescott nor Prescott Valley have access to large bodies of water. They are in a very tight situation for water and because of that I would rate these two towns much lower than one may see on the surface.
One should be aware of the expansive soils homes
