Snow in February

Yes, we expect snow in AZ in February, but not in the area of The Valley of the Sun! Yes, and on occasion, we expect we might see some on Four Peaks or on the Superstition Mountain, but not like we have seen this week! Our area  of the country has experienced record lows at night and a record low for a day time high. this week Areas in northern AZ  have received from 3 to 4 feet of snow late this week. Folks in our resort said their rain gauges showed 3 inches of rain in the two days. Flood warnings were posted on the TV stations. The resort's walkways and low spots all had water ponds. All in all, it has been a wet, cold two months.

Thursday, February 21st, late afternoon:

it started raining Wednesday night, all night and all the next day

then Grauple fell (not quite sleet or hail)

snow on the neighbor's roof

and our lawn furniture

and vehicles

Interesting enough, the northern half of the resort did

not get the Grauple that fell in the southern part of the resort.

temperatures for the last week in February, and
