so we go all winter with not a hint of rain or snow and then we get it 2 weeks in a row in March! Yesterday, we could see the snow falling on the mountain and it was hailing here in town. Quite cold too...like 50 degrees. I couldn't get warm until we put a fire in the fireplace. Ah..warmth :)
The mountains are so pretty with all the snow on them. Tomorrow, we might actually drive up Mount Lemmon to play in the snow. That is, if the road is open! The ski resort on top actually opened last week for a couple of days and may reopen this week too.

There's Snow!
Yesterday, we had our first major rainstorm of the year! Yes, in March. The desert so badly needed the rain. It rained all day and night. We heard it was snowing on Mount Lemmon but couldn't tell because it was obscured by the rain clouds all day long. Woke up this AM to a gorgeous view of the Catalinas covered in snow about 2/3 of the way down. Also, the Tortolitas had snow and the Tucson mountains. By 10a, a lot of the snow at the lower elevations had melted off. Still a beautiful sight!
