I live in Tucson, and as most of you know, it’s generally a rather warm and arid place. But this morning I saw snow outside the window, and it’s really coming down. Roads are closed, events are canceled. It snows every few years in Tucson, but today it looks like a real winter storm. Ironically, the road to our nearest ski resort is closed. 🙂 ---

A friend who has lived near Las Vegas for 15 or so years got her first snowfall yesterday. ---

I remember the last time it snowed here. They were holding a golf tournament and Tiger Woods was scheduled to tee off. They had to postpone his teeoff until the next day.
