Crazy Arizona weather...headed East!
We had a 2 day storm roll through AZ. Now it's going to impact the rest of the US. All you folks that normally get snow may say ho-hum (LOL), but for Arizona, this is a rare occurrence!
The first pics were shot from close to home...across the valley and towards Lake Pleasant and Crown King. The next ones were looking towards Prescott-and the last one was looking towards the White Tanks (near Waddell)

Those shots were taken early morning yesterday-air temp 34 degrees!
Then Lynn, Holly and I decided on taking a day trip up to Payson for lunch! Photo credit for most of these photos goes to my wife Lynn-as I was driving By the way, there was snow in Cave Creek, Scottsdale, Bartlett Lake area-places that normally don't get snow...at least snow that sticks to the ground! There was snow on the ground on highway 87 less than 14 miles from the turnoff from Shea Blvd to highway 87...

Here are the last pics from the drive home...the last one you won't see very often.
In fact, the 14 years we've lived in AZ, I've not seen the hills covered like this ever! As a point of reference-the exit were about to pass is the exit right near Barrett-Jackson.

Great pics Bruce!
There was even snow in Tucson. Buddy of mine that does my machine work down there sent me a picture. They had 2 inches of snow on the ground. Crazy. Here's a short video of the police having some fun with it down there. https://youtu.be/vj1LWJ0vV-w We got 12 inches at the house, first I've ever seen that much here. |

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. |
