Not sure how many of you got to see it, but the Supers were "snowed in" today, and I got some pictures before it melted. Wish I could have gone hiking and got better one's, but these will do 4 Peaks looked quite nice.
I tried Flatiron on sunday, but had to turn around at the "waterfall" because ice was building up on the rocks. That area of the hike got around 1/4 inch of snow in the 15 minutes that I was hanging around there, and the puddles were turning from slush to ice rather quickly. It was actually pretty neat to watch, since it really just started snowing as I got to that point, although lower down it was just pouring rain, and pretty miserable. I'm glad I got a late start though, since if I had started earlier I would've had to come down through that area later in the day when it was probably all ice.
There's snow on Tom's Thumb. I ran out and got a couple pics as I happened to have my camera with me. The Thumb is in clouds again though.... maybe getting more snow!
For me, sometimes it's just as much about the journey as the destination. Oh, and once in awhile, don't forget to look back at the trail you've traveled.
I can't see the Supers from my work but my shop is at the base of Black Mountain in Cave Creek and there's snow just north of us. Maybe at Spur Crossing

It actually was snowing in phoenix at Cactus and Cavecreek rd. at about 2:30 pm .....44 degrees.
OK, maybe not snow, the news just called it "ice pellets"
Understand, when you eat meat, that something did die. You have an obligation to value it - not just the sirloin but also all those wonderful tough little bits.

Just saw the light dusting on the Estrellas. So cool!
I couldn't see Barry Goldwater Peak in the White Tanks, but the radio summit didn't appear to have any snow at all. Something tells me the 65ft between the two doesn't matter.
Huge double Rainbow over the Valley about 3:00. It was snowing at Fry's at McDowell and Hayden 15 minutes ago....
Lifeis not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty & well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, totally worn out & proclaiming,"Wow What a Ride!"

Drove through a nasty hail storm on 60 heading toward Scottsdale from the Supes just a while ago. The ice/sludge on the road was thick and scary. Had to drop down to about 30mph for a good ways.
Just had to tow a truck out of a ditch near Mining Camp. It was snowing at a 3"/hour rate for a good half hour or so. The desert was white and my truck looked like it was in Colorado. The paved roads roads were actually snow-covered. Idaho and Broadway was a slushy, snowy, mess! Awesome day!
I'm not sure what my spirit animal is, but I'm confident it has rabies.
