You don't see this everyday...

[Retro Red]

You know the old saying - "...when Hell freezes over!" - that's used to emphasis that something ain't never gonna happen.

Well, Phoenix ain't Hell, but if you've ever been here during the Summer, you know we're next door neighbors.

Anyway, yesterday - IT SNOWED!!!

Since snow in the desert is a bit of a rarity, & has a unique beauty, I thought you might enjoy some photos.

PS. I was perfectly comfortable yesterday in my 5-yd Scottish-American tartan kilt.

The storm approacheth...

RR,

There are some really beautiful photos in that group. I love all the ones of the cacti frosted with snow. Thanks for sharing this with us.

This almost makes up for the Bad Puns on the "Show us your best Hamish" pictures. Almost, but not quite...

Cheers
