I blog often about unusual weather in Tucson.
Today an unusual weather day because it snowed. And, it was a pretty spectacular event for this area. It does snow every few years here but it's usually a dusting and lasts a few minutes. This snow event actually caused snow to stick to grass and dirt areas and lasted in some areas for an hour or more.

I took this photo outside of the back door of the KGUN building and you can really see the snow flakes falling. |
