While we only saw what I would guess to be flurries in our backyard, Mesa, which is west of us here in the valley, got hit with what the meteorologists are calling a thundersnow, where it was apparently cold enough aloft for snow to fall in 40 degree weather, and heavy enough to actually accumulate briefly on the ground.
Below are three pictures I borrowed from the following article about this freak storm, at
http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/0121weather-ON.html
These were all taken, according to the article, from people living in northeast Mesa, maybe
fifteen minutes from us.
They're forecasting 2-3 inches of snow in Tucson, and it continues to pile up in the mountains, which can only be good news for our water supply come this spring/summer.
