Tucson Snow

Yesterday in Tucson, we had a rare snow. First time since I moved there I had seen snow actively falling where I was (not counting snow on mountain tops where I wasn't of course...it snowed once in 2007 but I was out of town that weekend).  Here are a few shots from the day.



I took a few early in the evening.



About 11 at night, we got another round of snow so I went out to Saguaro National Park East to take some pics. It was kind of creepy. It was close to freezing so there was the constant noise of melting snow dripping off the cactus.





We kind of freak out over minor snowfalls. Don't judge us!

Nice pictures, hale. Some snow every six years isn't that bad. So are schools and government offices closed?

Boppster, I was in Charlotte NC when they got 2 inches of snow one night. The sheriffs’ dept received 127 calls in 30 minutes reporting accidents and people in the ditches.

Those people down there think they’re all NASCAR drivers.

Nope, nothing closed because of the snow Orbs. Surprising, I know!

We had about 2 inches yesterday which amounted to slush but they closed all the schools anyway.
Silly.
