Tucson Snowstorm

A snowy week in Tucson

Tucson is known for many things.  We've got great Mexican food, beautiful mountains, and hot summers.  Golf, cycling and hiking are world class.  But Tucson is definitely not known for snow.  In fact, most people move here to get away from the "white stuff".  It typically only snows here about once every 3-4 years.  So twice in one week is simply unheard of but that's what happened.  Saturday it snowed in many areas around town.

Snowing in Tucson on the saguarosYesterday, it snowed again.  I've been out photographing the "white stuff" three times in just the last few days.  There is just something so ironically beautiful about the desert covered in snow.  

Fortunately for all those people who moved here to get away from snow it was all gone in a very short amount of time.  When it does snow here it rarely sticks around passed 10am, especially when the sun comes out.

By Friday, we're supposed to be back to our typical Tucson winter weather....Sunny and in the 70s.  The cold never stays around for long.
