It hasn't gotten below 104 degrees (during the daytime) in weeks here in AZ, and it's only going to get hotter. I'm leaving just before the heat really gets insane. I've been monitoring the weather in MA for comparison and I can't wait to be able to go outside and actually climb, or to take Harry for long walks with tons of ball tossing. Can't wait to feature Harry in some of my videos! Everyone will love him! He's a great little climbing partner and loves to guard my gear on the ground with a chew toy.
Yeah, sure, it's going to be a huge shock to experience the much higher humidity once again, but humidity won't keep me locked indoors in the A/C, nor will it cause all of my camera equipment to overheat. Excited to experience rainy days and t-storms again and, come winter, I'll be picking a few snow storms to film some majestic snow climbs during or after the storms!
The only problem with "during" is that, unless it's really cold, a snowflake could land on the lens of my GoPro or my phone, melt, and ruin the shots. So I'll have to be diligent about checking the lenses. I can always cover my tripod camera (phone) with an umbrella if the wind isn't crazy. I already have a homemade, adjustable umbrella attachment point that I had been using in AZ to block direct sunlight. I'm stoked. Modern batteries also still work really well in very cold temperatures. They just can't handle AZ summer heat. =-P
