If you live in the Arizona desert you don't expect to see too much snow. The beauty of this is the mountains get their fair share of snow when we are getting the winter rain. JoAnn's picture shown above, "Arizona Winter", gives a look at this condition as well as the fictitious activity going on underground. This makes for a beautiful view that keeps us reminded of the changing seasons. In the 26 years we have lived in the Tucson area I can count the times it snowed on one hand. I mean a snow storm that dropped a measurable snow fall that didn't melt off in a few hours. Numerous winter storms will paint the mountains and foothills with the white stuff that last for some time. When it does snow in Tucson everyone gets excited. The Kids and grownup alike get a coat on and venture into the seldom seen phenomena.
A little snow fell on our new and current home several winters ago. The weather turned cold so it lasted a day or so. Having grown up in eastern Montana, this was insignificant in my view. The photo below shows the evidence of this desert snow storm.
