1. But is it sticking?

[Lady Freedom Returns]

4. It is starting to a little.

I am in the Valley. There are really big flakes. Car are getting covered and there is some starting to stick to the ground.
MAKE IT STOP!!!!!

[Sekhmets Daughter]

8. Oh my...

And I bet Tucson drivers haven't a clue as to how to get around in it!

[Lady Freedom Returns]

12. The guys that live on the higher elevations do.

The Mountains get a good amount. But, a lot of my neighbors have parked the car till it passes. There is a Deli and a Thai restaurant not a minute's walk away. That is as far as many plan to go.

14. Makes sense....

I know the mountains get snow, my father had cousins who lived in Flagstaff.

I lived in Richmond, VA for 4 years. They were clueless. Riding with my father one day, we stopped at a light at a major intersection and couldn't believe what we were looking at. Across the street, a car was resting on its back wheels, while the front axle was perched several feet off the ground and up a utility pole. A snow plow must have created enough of a bank at the base of the pole that when the car went into its slide, the bank acted as ramp. It was amazing.

2. THAT IS AMAZING!

I hope you're doing well today!

17. My dear CaliforniaPeggy! I am, thank you -- not good yet, but on my way there.

9. It's 42 here and I'm freezing my ass off!

[RebelOne]

18. It is 46 degrees here in the Atlanta area,

and I am loving it. It will be summer here all too soon with 90+ degree temperatures. I wpuld much rather have the 40s.

22. You're griping about 42° weather in February?

Wimp.

[ohiosmith]

23. "wimp" is an alertable term!

[Brigid]

24. OK, how about . . .

Sissy?

[ohiosmith]

25. Mommie! Brigid is being mean!

[elleng]

10. Won't stay around long if its 48 degrees, y'all know!

Enjoy, and hope you're OK, MFM!

[Lady Freedom Returns]

13. That is what we in Valley are counting on.

But the Ski resorts are happy.

11. Best comment I've seen online about this snow?

In Tucson, a "Blizzard Warning" means that Dairy Queen is running out of ice cream.

16. Just heard from my family in Phoenix.

They're getting it there, too!

19. Does Anyone Know If It's Moving West?.....

If so, it should be here....I live in the Southern California hi-desert, by tomorrow. Most snow storms usually miss us. We're like the banana belt here.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

20. It's moving east. n/t

[becca da bakkah]

21. Thanks, Lady Freedom Returns.....

As windy as it's been here since last night, any snow would never make it to the ground. But, if it's not going to snow, at least warm up a bit!

[hrmjustin]

26. Hope you are feeling better MFM.

[Callmecrazy]

27. It's just a dream, MFM...

Or maybe the meds.

Tomorrow morning you will wake up and it will all be gone.
Las Vegas is like that. But I loved the smell of snow in the desert. It's very distinct.


P.S. Glad to hear you're feeling better.

28. Hell has officially frozen over!

I have seen snow in Tucson when I lived there in the 1990's. I have never seen it here in Phoenix (outside of a dusting at the higher elevations), but today, it frakin' snowed in downtown Phoenix, AZ!

Yes, snow in Phoenix. We made a little snowman and clumped together a few snowballs.

29. Loved the pics of my great nieces and nephews

building snowmen in East Mesa!!! They had a blast!! Of course the snowmen were about 3 inches tall!

[TM99]

30. I grew up

in the mountains of western North Carolina and am no stranger to a good snow.

This was quite surprising and fun. I even got to throw a few 'snowballs' at the neighbor kids.

[blueamy66]

31. What a great childhood you must have had!

When I met my fiancé, he was living in Dallas. I loved visiting him! Such nice people.....such personalities....houses, churches, white fences, swimming holes and rolling grassy hills.....I wish I would have moved there instead of having him move to AZ!

Never made it to Asheville......or the coast...wish I would have done so!

[TM99]

34. It had its positive and its negatives.

When I was young, I was too smart and too ambitious to enjoy the small town I was being raised in. All I wanted to do was get out and see the big world. I left home at 17 as an exchange student to what was then West Germany and really never went back except for brief visits.

Now what family I have left have retired or live near my sisters in the DC area, and I miss that small town and those mountains so much. I really miss having four seasons, unlike Arizona where it is basically hot or not so hot.

I went through Dallas a few times but never got to really visit it like I did Austin and San Antonio. If you get the chance, try to visit Asheville. The beauty of the Blue Ridge in that area is just breathtaking especially the turning of leaves during early fall.

[blueamy66]

35. I meant Dallas, NC....outside of Charlotte

I don't like AZ much right now. Ready to move anywhere!

[TM99]

36. It is early!

Duh, I have never been to Dallas, NC but I do know Charlotte.

Yeah, I am ready to leave Arizona soon myself. As soon as my health stabilizes and my love finishes her Masters, we are planning to do so.

32. Snow here too

High desert of NM in the middle of the state. Its beautiful - the sun just came out but it's 27 degrees.

33. Cue the global warming deniers

anytime there is snow or a cold spat, they'll cite it as evidence that global warming is a myth.

[LiberalFighter]

37. I want snow in Indiana

4 to 6 inches would be nice.

3 feet where Republicans live.
