But even though we had precipitation we didn't have just any ol' rainstorm. It rained for 24 hours straight and it also snowed in the mountains surrounding the city. That's rare.

I was lucky enough to travel during the weekend and I took some pictures of these atypical weather conditions surrounding Phoenix.

Now, just note that these pictures may not seem all that spectacular to folks living north of the 49th parallel, or south of it for that matter.

But remember, Phoenix is in the DESERT. Snow in the desert. Talk about an oxymoron that only used to occur here about once every 100 years. Now we get it about once a decade.

Enough rambling.

Enjoy the pics.

Again, I hope you enjoyed learning a little bit more about how Arizona weather is no longer just about tropical monsoons and heat waves. Add snow during March to that list.

Thank you kindly.
