...which wouldn't seem like a big deal, except I live in Tucson, AZ. And it wasn't just a few flurries that never stuck to the ground; we actually got a few cm of the stuff lying around.
Yes, that's a Saguaro cactus covered in snow. There was even enough snow to make a little dirty snowdude:
There's a pretty good chance of some more snowfall tonight. I just felt like sharing.

That's actually dead grass underneath it. There was a better one on the other side of campus (about waist-high, very clean snow), but I didn't get a photo.

Yes, a bit freakish. I've seen flurries in Phoenix. I guess it's that pesky global warming thing.

The world is really ****ed up these days. Snow in arizona, temperatures of 13° celcius in the middle of the winter over here, hurricane-like storms in western europe etc.

First real snow I've seen here. Though the oddest was on Easter a few years ago.

Never seen snow in Phoenix... but I thought it's normal for Tucson? At least that's what I was told when I visited (maybe not a lot... but it happens.. ).

Yeah, that's more snow than we've gotten in NYC so far this season. There was some light snow when I got out of class tonight, but nothing sticking.

It happens occasionally around the edge of the city (Tucson, not Phoenix), where the elevation's quite a bit higher, but almost never downtown or at the University of Arizona. About 10 miles east of campus, they got 3-4 inches! Insane!
And no, it didn't end up snowing again today. Too bad... tomorrow has a high of 57. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

I demand 38" of snow in my backyard like in '05.
We got less than a half inch last night, so at least I was able to fishtail a little bit this morning
