Snow in the Desert!

I remember being shocked to see snow in Phoenix when I first moved here in 1998.  For my international readers who don't know our climate here, it's usually hot and dry.  On Christmas, it was 75 degrees and beautiful.  It rarely rains here and the weather is even more rarely below 32 degrees, so both of those conditions occurring simultaneously...well...it's really, really rare.

But today, my kids saw snow in our backyard.  Most would call it "flurries" but we call it "snow."  You can't even see it in all of the pictures!  Yet, we celebrated.




We ended the excitement with cookies and cocoa.  The perfect end to any snow day!
