Sedona Polite Snow - Does It Exist? - You be the judge...

Sedona Snow....It's just different!

 

Sedona Snow

The 6 Hour Difference

Two images taken 6 hours apart.  The first was shot at around 8 am at 23º!  There was about 2 inches on my windshield but the backyard had fluffy white stuff at about 1/2 inch. The bottom picture was taken 6 hours later at around 2 pm and 45º. 

This cold front has lingered enough to keep some snow and ice in the shaded areas that the sun does not reach. Some of the red rocks also still have some snow as I was driving today. 

Humidity Causes Evaporation

All in all, this is more normal than not.  Snow just evaporates because of the lack of humidity.  Unfortunately, I had another listing shoot today...and as little snow as we get, my last two shoots have had snow on the ground. Fortunately, my husband does my photos, so I can come back and reshoot if necessary.

Hi Nina Hollander - I had never driven in the snow and it took awhile before there was enough snow left for me to get out there. Even if we get a time where it is 6 or 8 inches, the roads remain clear.

Sheri, you just described with the pictures the most courteous snow I have ever seen. I might even like snow like that.

HI Wayne Martin - I always worry about ice but because we don't get much if any, our guard may be down.  Be careful.

HI Amanda S. Davidson - Polite snow is perfect. But there are those who have been around "angry" snow for so long, that they don't want anything to do with snow.  There are agents who will not show any pics of snow on their websites. I find that very disingenuous.

Joe Pryor - Trust me,  you would be very surprised. I have been in Chicago when O'Hare was shut down shoveling snow off the driveway. It is not the same!

Those scenes are absolutely magical, Sheri.  I wish the rains we are currently getting here in Sacramento were polite.  They are coming on strong, and the wind is also having its way with us.

Hi Myrl, 


I remember that kind of weather in SoCal. We lived in the area that got super strong wind during Santa Ana conditions. I do not like wind at all!  The red rocks block the wind where we live and that is fine for me...LOL!

Hi Amanda S. Davidson - Many, many years ago, My husband sold some pictures to a RE agent here in Sedona before I was an agent. He gave the agent a lot of choices, but the most beautiful were the red rocks covered in snow.  The agent flat out said "Don't send me any of those pics with snow!" 

I learned a lot about that person...

Hi Sheri:

Now THAT'S the way to enjoy snow if you have it. Love the term "polite snow.' I did have to laugh as I think of snow these days as being rather rude, after 14 years in Carlsbad!! LOL.

We have had a lot of wind and rain recently, more than in a number of years, with more headed our way. Lots of flooding and other issues, but it's sure nice to have the moisture even though it's more than needed at one time.

Jeff
