It actually snowed in the area yesterday!! :)
I had heard on the news that it had, but that's different from seeing it for ones-self!
It started raining yesterday about 1am, and continued pretty much all day and most of the night. nice slow steady rain. Breaking the dry spell Phoenix had been in. 144 days without measurable precipitation.
(yeah, yeah, I know we're living in a desert, but still, over 1/3 of a year without rain, in what is supposed to be the wet part of the year is not good.)
Downtown Phoenix (AZ Republic building) got 1.12 inch of rain yesterday. That is our monthly total. and our YEARLY total. (official raingauge for area is at Sky Harbor Airport. not heard how much they got.)
But anyway, back to the snow thing....
There are some mountains just northeast of my office. couldn't see them on the way in to work this morning, since there were still clouds around the summits, but when I came out this afternoon, I could see snow at the tops.
getting onto the 101 to come home, there are mountains in the middledistance that are TOTALLY white!!
