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.

Ha, I had to do some shoveling with this storm. Usually I just wait a couple hours and it melts away but this might hang a while.

They have plows but they don't treat the roads with anything that melts it. They just toss a little sand down. Sunshine afterwards seems to do the rest.

Yep, they have snowplows-at least up north. We missed a few pics on the 87, where a Frito Lay semi and two snow plows got stuck at the top of one pass-and they were trying to dig them out yesterday morning.


We brought snow home in the bed of the truck and Holly made some mini snow men...and they are still partially there. We got a lot of neat comments from folks in the neighborhood...even had a small snowball fight....


First two pics are from yesterday...the last one from this morning. It helps that it was 37 out this morning. Still lots of snow in the bed of the truck



By the way...it's supposed to be 75 degrees by Thursday!
