So much for my cocky "we'll never get snow here in southern Arizona" speech yesterday.
The Winter Storm Warning made a fool of me and hurled about an inch of the white stuff at us overnight. And it was cold enough here in Dodge City for the snow to stick around 'til this morning.
Here's our RV neighbour's car, just outside Tucson around 7am:
And our shivering little Chevy:
But the desert hills behind our site looked especially cool, covered in snow:
The chilly weekend weather also hit a few areas that haven't seen snow in years, like the San Francisco Bay area and the desert just outside Vegas.
Our Dodge City snowfall should disappear in a few hours since the forecast high is 18C today. And then it's back to sunny skies and daily highs of 25C (77f) until we leave for Nevada in early March.
In the meantime I might go wrap my toque and mittens around the saguaro behind our site.
It's not used to this kind of weather.
As snow goes - that isn't much - however in Tucson - remarkable. I guess you Canadians brought some of your February weather with you.

And THAT'S why we can't come to PE, Senor C. We don't wanna bring this nasty snow!
Although by 9am today the snow was gone...and by 2pm we were wearing shorts and lounging in the sun.
