Arizona in February - insanity?

[Quaint]

Mrs. Quaint and I are looking to have a fortnight somewhere warm in early February... Last year we went to Miami, and had a very nice time, and for next year we are considering Southern Arizona - perhaps some time in/around Scottsdale and Tucson. Having had a look online and in the various guides, there looks to be plenty to see and do in that region and temperatures look to be 20-ish which is fine.

However - all this is in theory so far; anybody been to the area at this time of year? Recommended? Or Lunacy?

I've been to Tuscon in NY. Really comfortable low 20s weather, wall to wall blue sky.

That sounds ideal... Thanks!

NY being New Year, obviously.

I sort of assumed that TBH. Unless it's one of the Outer Boroughs which I've never heard of...

I was in Phoenix / Scottsdale etc late March this year, was simply stunning weather, loads of things to do and see and a number of really good eateries as well.

Get a convertible and go driving in the surrounding area as well.
