this is what it looked like farther east, along the Two Bar Ridge Trail....
And I don't know that you would really have wanted to be out hiking in that. I was, and after 12 hours, it wasnt so much fun.

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 a lot of snow out there today. I can see snow to the base of flatiron. And the Estrella's and mcdowells are white too!
I have a stupid meeting this afternoon.
I hope some of you get out there and take photos and have fun for me!

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!

Sounds like you guys are getting more snow than we did ... very disappointing after about a foot predicted!

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

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.

6:45 PM in Apache Jct, 41 degrees, windy with rain.
However the weather report is not for decreasing temperature during the night.
Tomorrow will be partly sunny with a predicted high of 58 degrees.
Good time for a ride up Apache Trail till the end of the asphalt or maybe even to Fish Creek bridge.
6:54 PM - OOPs, that last rain squall covered the ground in my front yard with what looks like flour!
Yup, snow in the city of AJ....

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!
