The mountains see it fairly often because you are looking at elevations of 7,000 feet or more. Almost all the snow events up here only drop down to maybe 6,000 feet elevation so it's just rain for those of us that live below that. So we frequently see snow capped mountains around the house off in the distance.
This storm however dropped to 1,000 or 1500 feet I think?? Which put snow in some parts of Phoenix and Tucson, which is really rare.
