Get out there for me and see the snow!

Post by writelots »

I'm trapped in the office looking out a tiny window to the snow capped mountains all around Tucson. Please tell me SOMEONE is out there enjoying this! :lone:

Not I, I've even got a sick kid in the other room as I telecommute and have a great view of the Catalina's and Rincon's :(

If I had to put my money on someone from HAZ who is now out there enjoying it all and will soon report back to us, I would put my $$ on AZLOT69! ;)

How are the mountains around the valley looking? Anything on the McDowells or Supes Ridgeline?

I've just recently gotten to see the Supes from through the clouds and don't see any snow from here. There's sure to be some up there, but I think most of the rain/snow had started to end by the time the colder air arrived and dropped the freezing line to the lower levels.

I can see snow on the Supes. I'm in south Phoenix, near Tempe, and during my lunch break when I was on my way to Chipotle a break in the clouds offered me a glimpse. Definitely some patches of snow. I seriously considered playing hookie and taking an extra long lunch to go check them out up close, but quickly reconsidered when I realized how LONG of a lunch it would be. This storm had bad timing.

Very bad timing. And the one coming in behind it won't help me any, as I'm supposed to be canoeing on the Colorado this weekend - no where near snow and somewhere you really don't WANT to have cold, windy weather.

Sigh.
