Snow? In the desert???

Oh, yes, these pics are real....not photoshop recreations. :-) For those in the Phoenix, AZ area, last Saturday was a bizarre, magical treat. After nearly a record 130 some days of no rain at all, we woke up Saturday morning to friggin' snow. It had rained most of the night, and as I stood in the kitchen fixing breakfast I looked out the window and started to see the rain drops morphing into big white flakes. "Kris! It's snowing!" I screamed to my DH, and got the disbelieving reply, "No it's not."

LOL. Yes it was, and after a morning and then an entire evening of snow, we had 6 inches on the ground, on the cars and on our sparse desert palo verdes and mesquites. So much snow in fact, branches snapped.

Snow ball fights in the desert.....Impossible! Nope. Not on this wet, wild, crazy Arizona night.
